PLEASE READ!

Excellent article from UCDAVIS on why you should wait until a dog is older to spay/neuter! 6 months is waaaay too young and it can cause a lot of damage.

Wishing our Ruff Life Family a Happy New Year! I hope it will be blessed for you and your beautiful fur babies! 🥰

Mikey and I tested out my new inflatable hot tent on New Year's Eve and it did not disappoint! We sat through a lightening and thunder storm in the front yard which was totally awesome 😅. I always like to do a test of new gear before I go out into the woods with it. I chopped lots of wood, made stuffed peppers on the wood burning stove, popped popcorn, whittled a large piece of wood (I'm making a Kusak cup and spoon), and watched a movie. We had a blast!! I have a channel over on youtube that I want to develop this year and add all of our hiking and camping adventures on. Follow us if that is something you'd like to see! https://www.youtube.com/-ish
