Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

Hidey Ho Campers and Camperettes! What’s the best advice I would give to someone younger than me? There’s actually numerous ways I could answer this question, so, I will give you the one I believe to be the most serious of them all. Our youth face many obstacles in today’s society. Sadly, all of which place incredible burdens on them. My turning 69 years old next month has Blessed me with an understanding of life that comes from, not my age, but rather the seven decades I was fortunate enough to experience.

"If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?" Being a dog owner and lover of all creatures, great or small, I’ll answer this with them in mind. I know my same-litter sister Chorkies,   (Chihuahua/Yorkie mix) , understand more than we give them credit for. It’s a difficult question to answer.
