Leslie is always available by phone, just in case we want to call and check on them.

Once, she would rather play and be petted than eat. Not now - everything is equal -eat, sleep, play, watch birds, play with Bella and/or Bree, sleep, repeat. One of Roxie's six pups. He was such a happy, happy boy! He was so very special, adapting very well to being blind from cataracts. He liked to play dress-up! And loved toys that "sang" so he could hear them to find them.
