The Sofa That “Almost” Got Stuck in The Door
“Lead from the back and let others believe they are in front” -Nelson Mandela Hello, sweet friends… I hope you are enjoying these last few days of February.

I believe she felt love across the miles…holding her this last moment in time. Cami was a dog but she was much more than a dog. … Read the full blog post
