Poor Barbie.
She must have had great hopes as she sat on the toy store shelf in her pretty packaging just waiting to be picked up and taken home by a little girl who would love her forever. Certainly included in her ambitions were visions of being dressed up in fancy shoes and gowns and toted [...]
There is a safe way to handle rodenticides.

That’s James, the Little Bro. He doubles as a warehouse and tech guy at the office. On this particular day he had been photographing some rat poison blox for the website. At one point [...]
