A Dog's Life

Do you ever sit and wait and wait? Well, science is not just sitting and waiting for something to happen. You need to be moving your mind, your body and get going.

The blog is on 'vacation' as we wait for everyone to get their parents permission to have their pictures continue to be posted at this sight.

In the meantime, enjoy Bacon, my favorite Chocolate Lab. He is a cutie and he is waiting for you to discover something great today!

What will YOU discover?
