Too Little Time Left

Bark! Bark! Bark! The Garbage Man is coming! The Garbage Man is coming! Must get outside to greet, greet greet… Stumbling over his back feet running to the door…Bark Bark Bark! More like Huff Huff Huff as he shows his age, beautiful golden fur shedding in his wake. I just vacuumed for goodness sake! […]
