Snow Day

Don’t Disturb Me, I’m Exhausted

I’ve lost track of how much sleep I’ve lost lately thanks to Harper, but at least she’s recovering with many power naps. Harper has always been an anxious dog and we’ve always adapted to new issues while never understanding old issues like how can you be afraid of a tiny fly and chase thirty turkeys…
