What a sad week it's been for their loving human companions.

It's a good thing Sunshine & Upsie at What Did You Eat are hosting the WCB port of call. There's sure to be food aplenty to fill our empty tummies and enough cod liver oil margaritas to drown our sorrows. Thanks, Sher!

May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again...
