It’s National Dog Day!

I have to remind myself, “I am no Dr. Dolittle!”   I love fur babies, and when I meet an animal I try to connect with them.   I say hello to the rabbits and squirrels that I see while I am out walking, I talk to people’s dogs and cats…it is who I am.Continue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”
