Just like I said on Monday it will go from AC to heat all in the same week. Well that sure was right on the mark! Switched over yesterday. Poor little Poco does not know what to do! Open the door for him to go out and he tries to dart back  inside the house.  Only if [...]

I feel like singing the Willie Nelson song,  On the road Again. Leaving in the morning for North Carolina to visit my daughter and son-in-law.  I decided Poco was still too young to fly so I am driving, but taking it in two days.  Meeting up with a friend in West Virginia for dinner [...]
