Today was a good day. Snickers and I started off the afternoon (which is the beginning of our day after all) with romp in the snow covered dog run. Then Snick managed to take me to his favorite liquor store. Yes, I said my dog has a favorite liquor store. Jersey City Wine & Spirits […]
Just One Dog – A Rescue Story
Brandy Has Chosen Her Person
Brandy seems to be more attached to my daughter than to me, probably because they spend more time together and go on more walks together.
