The dog and I went out for our Sunday morning walk. We chose to walk Laurie provincial park, which is a popular spot for local dog owners.Unfortunately vandals were in a few hours before and trashed the newly build comfort station. We found the ashes still warm and a few smashed bottled of tequila.
