I think I may have Pooks finally saying his prayers!
I ask him to say them, and he puts both paws across my lap, then bows his head.

I say Amen and he snaps the head up for a treat

I’m using sugar-free Hazelnut coffee creamer in my coffee & boy is it good. But I’m turning into a real coffee drinker so it’s getting expensive. I’ve got to learn to like the coffee black. Also, the Splenda sweetner is nearly $8 for a 9oz bag! Geesh!
Hope your work day wasn’t too stressful for ya!
