Adam Stein 10/28/2020 9:36 AMI always enjoy the chance to express gratitude. It seems to me that there is an overwhelming amount of opportunities to be negative in our world, so having a chance to reflect on positive things is great. -
Adam Stein 10/27/2020 8:18 AMI'm thinking about what else I can do to help my cat companions join in the eco fun. For the amount they lay around each day, it's amazing to me how much they use their litter boxes. Thankfully we have compostable bags and biodegradable litter, but I wonder what else we can do...-
