As you can see, Wylie celebrated a little too much on New Year’s Eve. We had about 18 friends over last night for our party. He was the center of attention and just fell asleep on the couch next to our friend Phil. He left and Wylie didn’t budge an inch.
Hello Wylie

It’s a sad thing. People drop off unwanted puppies and kittens in the country when they don’t want them. This has to be the case with this pup since Keith…

Trees are up
