February was a month of me showing how well I’m learning to ignore food I shouldn’t be eating! There are always dishes of my kibble around the house I could eat, but I pretend they don’t exist. I’m always happy to oblige though, if offered...

Oh the places I’ve gone, the things I’ve done! August was a wonderful month, so hot and sunny. Some days were so hot, that we dawned our PADS cape and escaped to air-conditioned places to cool off – a privilege, I know. π We went to Superstore,...
