Dear Frankie
Ready For a New Look Dear Frankie I was at the groomers last week. Greta, a schnauzer, had a hairdo that absolutely knocked me out. The groomer had spiked the hair on the top of her head with hair gel and shaved the hair on her body close to her skin. That girl was rocking…. [Read More]
