Life

(This dog has committed some naughty crimes!) I aspire for this series of articles to be a lighthearted insight into the more interesting/noteworthy parts of my life…beginning with part 1, the tale of an injured pigeon.

Anyway, when I was walking it, It came acrosss a pigeon walking around the residential areas near my house. ...

Some components may not be explained, that is to be expected. ...
