well, while enjoying a swim and frolic in the Grand River the other day, merrick came out bleeding …

so please, keep an eye out for dangers such as broken glass and pick up when you can.  myself, i’m going to start carrying an extra bag for glass pick up.  i might even have to start packing a broom and dustpan!  in the meantime, we’ve nicknamed this monkeynuts Flash and try to keep him amused with quieter games of tug.
