*we’re trudging along over here, trying to deal. I can’t tell you all how much your support means to me. Especially how seriously you all take it. Sometimes people who aren’t pet lovers just think this kind of reaction is…
Atti’s Mobile and Door sign
I’ve been meaning to share this forever, but you know, life and all. I made a couple additions to Atti’s room in between the time he came home and the time we transitioned him into his own crib. For starters,…
