Couldn’t think of anything pithy to call this week or entitle this post. It has been a satisfactory few days since I spoke to you. Have been just doing what I love, and gettin’ by just fine. Here are a few of the beautiful beings I cared for, talked to, or groomed this week. This … Continue reading
This morning I had started the coffee by 7 and was out the door shortly after. I opened the doggy door for Seltzer and Maya (they get “tucked in” late at night or they might stand outside and bark).
