About the Dogs

My dad’s dog, Gabby, had an eventful week- she went to the groomer to get washed, cut, and trimmed up. I will say, caught up in Recording a Sunscreen Favorites Video it had just dawned on me that I almost forgot her grooming appointment- somehow we made it there on time, even with a couple minutes to spare.

Lincoln mistakenly thought it was already spring and has been watching the turkeys and geese fly by. He woke up today to disappointment - it finally snowed, and we got a lot of snow. Lincoln would like the warm weather back!

Ike has been patiently awaiting Easter- he would like to nibble on any and all leftovers that my family will hand him… In the meantime he’s been up to his usual - begging for treats and stealing Lincoln’s toys.
