Dr Kenny Winn Makes a Great Patient

One Year Together! Happy Anniversary!
I have been meaning to send an update on River and today seem to be an appropriate one. One year ago today I became River’s Mom, with him arriving at Bits & Bytes directly from his racing career. It has been an interesting and educating year to say the least. Having bought my “Guy” sight…
