May 1st is a special day; it is my Candy girl’s birthday. She is 14. Fourteen years of total love and devotion! I know I talked about my love for dogs in previous blogs, but I have to revisit it. All of my life, I’ve been around animals, but until Candy and Brandy came into …
Where is Teddy? Teddy is always ready to take us on an adventure. I love to hide in small places. Where is Teddy? He loves to hide beside things. Cosmo is my best friend, but we haven’t been able to play for a long time. Where is Teddy? He loves to hide behind things. Because …
