Hi everyone,
It has been a long while since biggie and i have checked in but no news is good news when it comes to us:-) biggie is doing fantastic...below is something my sister sent to me this morning and although it may not be 100% fact, I thought it would be good to post as so many times we tend to forget that our dogs and cats are walking on the products we are using to clean with and that they could be harmful....anyhow....i use nature's miracle for my cleaning, it is petsafe...my sis uses simple green mixed with water which she said is also petsafe...
This may or may not be true but good idea to check it
out.
