SOOOO glad they are coming to Granollers, and I am so looking forward to meeting them! Duna reminds me of Chuck in that photo….
Did you mean THAT photo? Poor confused Duna . And poor old Blue who in fact didn’t seem to mind too much ! kxx
Very good – funny and sad. x to Blue
How wonderful to remember that they were young once. Funny, but I seem to share many of those 15 things. I often go upstairs only to go back down for forgetting what I went up for. I’ve also been known to bark loudly thinking others were deaf and my eye sight – let’s not even go there. My front end often has no clue what my back end is doing but that’s a whole blog post on its own. They will love being with you in Granollers. I would probably love being with you in Granollers and that is also another whole blog post on its own.
That’s how I open my presents too. Therefore I need an aspirin the day after a birthday or Christmas. You might think that it is a hangover, but I know it is the head shaking.
