[nagdu] blazing trails with tails.

[d m gina]

I'm pleased you came back to share this, one doesn't need to feel bad 
about getting lost.
For the most part I know my directions, also using the sun.
yes I love to give a command where people get confused on what I am 
telling my dog.
Last night I said rest, the lady wanted to know what I said to my dog.
Made me laugh.
