EVErything here is fine. We did lost electric for about six hours. Just came back on a short time ago. Again, this hurricane did very little here. Have no idea why we lost electric. Now, today’s great post of dogs. Everyone of them is super. I love all of them. Hal

Very glad nothing much happened in your area with the storm. We just had a little rain in Mexico. I know not everyone was so lucky.

My husband and I recently took in a dog – his father’s sad shih-tzu – who has taken a lot of love and care to get to the state of recuperation she’s currently enjoying. This re-post is perfect timing and is just a lovely way for me to end my Friday work day while waiting for the groomer to call me to pick up our little floof-ball 😀 ❤

I truly love that one, but it’s the closeup of the sandy nose that gets me.
