Into that good night

December 5, 2013January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 26 Comments

Last Sunday night, after returning from a week-long trip to visit the grans at Thanksgiving, we were happily welcomed home by our pets - dogs, Hershey and Asta, and our little manx calico, Pollo. While I unpacked, Pollo paced up and down the hallway. At one point I thought she had brought me one of … Continue reading Into that good night
