Rabbit, or pretzel? You decide.

We saw several off-leash dogs on the trail this weekend...and two big rattlesnakes. Snakebites can be lethal. Please leash your dogs when hiking, especially now that the weather is warming up in SoCal.

Big thanks to Dawn Lowe and brilliantflash.bsky.social for featuring my story, "Sweet Release."

Mine just arrived! Proud to be included. Thanks, @petrock.bsky.social
