Breaking Out Mom and I were mingling in a hotel hallway with several other people. In the middle of the hallway, a white pickup was parked. Mom and I jumped into the pickup, her behind the wheel which was on the right hand side of the pickup, as in Australia. I was on the left... Continue Reading →
Snoopy entered peacefully into his final hunting ground this morning, February 5, 2024. He was born December 4, 2012, and I am thankful for the good, long life he lived.
