The Pets Blog Week in Review for April 28 – May 4

Aimee and I wrote out April and welcomed May last week. Miss any of it? If so, here’s your handy Week in Review for quick catch-up.

When Nancy Sathre-Vogel left a comment on one of my articles in Pets, she had no idea how much she piqued my interest when she left a link to her website. But she did. It prompted a request not only to interview her about her plans to take their family dog on their Pan-American bicycle trek from Alaska to Argentina, but I also interviewed her for Homeschool. Now I’m here to present one parents might appreciate. Courtney Mroch: Have you always been a biking family? Nancy Sathre-Vogel: My husband and I have always been cyclists – in fact we met … Continue reading →
