Philip got up and knelt down to say his prayers. It was a cold morning, and he shivered a little; but he had been taught by his uncle that his prayers were more acceptable to God if he said them in his nightshirt than if he waited till he was dressed. This did not surprise him, for he was beginning to realize that he was a creature of a God who appreciated the discomfort of his worshippers.

All I can ask is that they remain focused and concentrate on winning their last four games.

Law enforcement dogs put a lot of strain on their joints as they perform the many physical and challenging activities they face on their jobs. As the cartilage begins to break down while the dog is still relatively young, more pressure is placed on the joints and the dog experiences discomfort. A household pet would take that as a sign to become more sedentary, but a working law enforcement dog does not have that option, so he'll continue to push himself while not really being able to obtain the same level of performance. We are pleased to be able to provide nutritious, healthy food for active dogs to help improve their quality of life and productivity.
