Ohhhh, the dog part is indeed a VERY happy place! Wonderful! There was a dog park near where I lived in Berkeley years ago, and getting to walk by the dog park every morning was such a pleasure: I would stand there and drink my coffee and watch the dogs doing all their dog things and having so much dog fun. Did you see all the dogs in the announcements today? It was a Dog Day holiday this week, so I did a dog theme for the announcements today: Thursday announcements link with dogs :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah I saw it was National Dog Day so I made sure to give my dog a couple more treats to celebrate haha. I loved the announcement page!
DeleteHa ha, I am glad about extra treats! The pets have definitely been HEROES during the pandemic: we need all the good pet-energy. :-)
