My Little Bookie Lou- Milestones

Here are the top ten awesomest things Avery’s doing right now:
10. Making razzing noises with her lips and tongue, complete with a face full of drool.

Wonder Dog, Wonderful Moments, Weather, and Work

This morning was really special to me. I woke up with Gunnar in my face. He was whining and grunting at me as I lay in bed. Usually he will do this if he has to pee (and with the nasty weather he hasn’t wanted to go out much) but he brought me right into [...]
