So many weren’t loved at one time and went through the trauma of being tossed out like trash. I don’t want them to ever feel unloved again. And they’re so sweet, even though obnoxious at times, it’s easy to love ‘em. :-)

Sleep well. Catch ya tomorrow for the quiz.

At least the fishermen were on one dock, leaving the rest of the area free and clear for you and Gizmo. Looks like he made the most of it, dragging you all over the place. LOL
