Here is quick overview of the work and maintenance we have performed on our DRs throughout our adventure.
After we parted with the Wolfmobile and Zebramobile in December 2014, we managed to stay in touch with the new owners. They have been kind enough to send us updates on the health of our puppies and on the TLC they administered them.
