It’s kind of hard to see from these photos, but Nick Furry’s paws are enormous! They make me giggle. Maybe you can get a better perspective from this photo that was taken by his rescuers. He was at his first vet appointment and all tuckered out. And there’s that big […]
Art-a-palooza
It’s ArtPrize time again! We’ve made it a point to spend as much time downtown during the event each year as we can manage. And since our commute home after school takes us through downtown, we decided to stop by on Wednesday, opening day. I love being able to visit […]
