Thank you to Hilary Karls, Josh Clemm, and the writings of The Caring Techie. Follow Mila along her daily walks and map your own walks! Pmails are the animal world's equivalent to our emails. Our pets read Pmails on their walks and they also write and leave their own Pmail for other animals in the neighborhood to read. With a little technical help, Pmails can also be read by us, animal lovers!
