Brummet's Conscious Blog

-- Conscious Discussions Radio -- Kyla Duffy was the featured guest this morning on the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show. We learned about her dedication to dog adoption, her work to encourage people to consider adopting a pet - and if they are going to get a dog, to help them identify the best breed for their lifestyle. Kyla shared her knowledge of animal rescue organizations; the happy tails dog series – a fund raising project… & more.
