The girls.
I was told by Gray and Sarah that I take a lot of the photos of the ‘girls.’ I reminded them that our dogs have always been my muse. I did the same thing with the ‘boys,’ and have a ton of photos of them. After being cooped up in the house we took them…

Worms and guts
We got about 4-5″ of rain the other day. The kid spent most of his time in the basement consuming mass amounts of YouTube and who-knows-what content. He came upstairs and was bouncing off the wall. Mrs Shoo sent him outside to play in the rain. The other neighborhood boys soon followed.
