They still run when they see me, but they don't run quite as far. Today they actually stopped about 30 feet away from me while I refilled the food ( Read more... )

The last of the furniture is in the craft room. All that remains now is to bring in the supplies from the garage and organize them. This is the craft room of which I have dreamed for years. Plenty of storage, a generous work surface/cut table with great natural light, and room to work ( Read more... )
