(Someone Else's) Home for the Holidays
As of tomorrow morning, I will be a few houses down from my regular residence, because I've got another dog-sitting gig, lasting about a week.

I'm not a peripatetic creature during the warmest months, and winter has always ( Read more... ) -

I'm loyal that way, even to the point of changing my baby-dolls' diapers years after I'd finished playing with them, or hugging a stuffed panda that had sat with ( Read more... ) -
