There is something about a dog smile. Cooper’s expression on the porch, is a lazy summer afternoon look. You certainly packed a lot in this week and gave me a reason to smile. Enjoy all that the weekend brings. Peace.

Mr. D does look ready, I’m just not sure what he is ready for. Maybe it’s time for him and you to do a podcasts with Pete Crow-Armstrong. He has the answer.
