As the holiday season ramps up and we start our frantic shopping sprees. think about the CDA for a moment!
If you shop on Amazon, you can help us (and the park)!
AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon with the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice.

I created an online survey where people told me the strangest things their dog has eaten and not make himself (or herself) sick.

Simply because when I need to get to the emergency vet, I need to get in there RIGHT NOW, and really, really need the closest parking space in order to minimize distance to their front door.
