My Deaf Dog My husband and I have been having a debate recently about our elderly dog, Ranger. I said she was going deaf. My husband’s (incorrect) argument is that she was just a snob who has been ignoring us. Per our weekend visit to the vet, it’s official. Ranger is going deaf. I found…

Sea Glass and Coastal Arts 2016, Lewes, DE
Can anyone meet me there? I would love to say hello in person.
