    • There is lots going on Terry, and thanks for your Thursday Blog Hop as always and keeping us informed as to what is happening in your neighborhood. Park time si the best time of the day for her, thanks

  1. This is so cool! I didn’t realize that National Rescue Dog Day is the day before Henry’s Birthday (Gotcha Day). Well, have to do a double celebration.

    I still can’t believe it’s been so long since Layla crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I still think of her. I bet she’s telling Nili how to keep you in line BOL

    Henry says Nili needs a cookie. Funny how the pups stick together.

    • I know it is amazing that there is a National Rescue Day and I love it, and yes it makes Henrys’ Gotcha Day Extra Special so he needs double of everything. I also cannot believe it is two years and I am sure she is telling Nili to boss me around BOL. Nili woofs Henry needs double cookies and pups can be monsters and stick together causing mischief.

  2. So many important dates! Thank you for always posting them. I hope you have a lovely Dog Mom Day!
