I have had a lot of things going on here at home, and have not been checking in regularly...
Just read about Spirit....
Alex and Spirit
So sorry about Spirit. That is wonderful that you had a great day together. It is so very difficult losing a beloved pet. People that have never had a close relationship with an animal can't understand.
Ginger, thanks about the grosbeak. We saw another one a couple days ago, so they must not be done migrating through yet. Wish they were here year round!
