After a relatively quiet weekend at the Pet Hostel, it has not taken too much to “dig out” and start my week. By that I mean … picking up and washing bedding, cleaning kennels and that kind of thing, in addition to the usual feeding and watering, walking (at times) and loving. We still have … Continue reading
Today I really, really hit the tiredness wall. This is nothing serious, and I’m not even sure what has caused me to be more fatigued this afternoon than many other days.
