Playmates
First the little brown Pittie was playing with a mini-Aussie But then the Aussie had to go home. That was okay,though, because his other Pittie friend showed up to play.
A Walk Around the Blog: Spreading Smiles
Today is all about things that make me smile. I like smiling. This story of two friends who need a new home is kind of sad, but their relationship is wonderful. A cat and his dog, or a Yorkie and her cat. However you think of it, I agree with …
