Speaking of online deliveries, did you know there have been quite a few changes with the United States Postal Service recently? For example, in June, they rolled out a new program of sorts.

The program halts mail to certain homes if a dog is considered a risk. Unfortunately, this is a risk to employees and can be a really scary situation, so mail will be halted until the situation is no longer risky.

I always knew that this was an issue but I didn't know how big of a problem it really was! I am glad the USPS is protecting their employees. I didn't even know halting mail was an option.
