Palin, Romney and the Power of Precise Messaging

Cheers to Our Rescue Dog of the Week!

Capturing the Moment
November 10, 2011
I woke up this morning with a feeling of dread. … Why you may ask? Today is the day that our judge’s panel must choose four “Judge’s Pick” winners from the calendar contest entries! Oh the agony! So many simply amazing pit bull superheroes and being forced to only pick four.
