Aug 21 2012 TTouches with Taser

Posted on August 21, 2012May 22, 2014

Posted on July 16, 2012July 29, 2012

This is the first time I have gotten on Taser’s back for a ride since he had gotten frightened at the beginning of May 2012 and had scared me tremendously. He is so strong and fast that, at that time, I decided to grab onto the fence and pull myself off as we went zooming […]

Posted on June 8, 2012July 29, 2012
