Look who came over for cuddles today! I’m not exaggerating at all when I say it’s been at least four months since Birdy’s been on my lap. There have been a few times when she’s sat on the arm of … Continue reading
Look at my sweetest, sweet, sweet Henny dog. I get really mushy with her and tell her how she’s a angel inside a tiny dog’s body. I also tell her that she’s important and special and a beautiful dog, because … Continue reading
