dogs

My roomate and I searched for my first box today...

We took my dog, Bandit. I carved him a stamp and took
his book.

We didn't find the box... going back tomorrow but I
will say a shih-tzu might not be the best dog to take
on a trail, even if he is cut short! He collected a
lot of things as he brushed against them.
Fortunately, we had a gooming appt right after :)
