Where do you board your pets? 11 Replies

For reasons too complicated to go into, I'm going to have to board the pooch in a few weeks. Where do you board your pets when you have to board them as opposed to getting a sitter?

That land dorectly next to the tracks was sold to the ATSFR back in 1880 or so they or BNSFR may own that land, so it may not be up to the county/state unless the envoke Imminent domain.

Snehal, Are you in Albuquerque yet?

John V commented on John V's group 'ABQ Drumming'8 hours ago

A good resource for learning some basic rhythms is a book called The New Conga Joy by Bill Mathews. It's annotated very well. Easy to see what you should be doing. I picked up my copy at Apple Mountain Music. I need to use my copy more!

Driving down from the Crest

I smelled burning brake pads all the way down today and he could have avoided all the extra wear and tear if he had just used a lower gear.… Continue

ABQ. CPA:Citizen's Police Academy (APD)

I am in my third week of the Albuquerque Police Departments' CPA program, the 35th CPA class offered. It is a 12 week course (classes meet twice a week with optional weekend field trips) of fairly amazing adventures offered for free to Albuquerque residents by the Albuquerque Police Department.
