Blogging

Once a year I get together with my blogging friends to look forward and back. Here’s the 2019 Pet Blogger Challenge.

OMD, it’s that time again! Time to hang with my pet blogging peeps and try to be somewhat amusing for non-blogging readers. The pressure! The pressure! Can I do it?

We haven’t sunk the boat. Honey is fit and happy. And I haven’t forgotten how to write. What better reason to update my much-neglected blog than to join the 7th Annual Pet Blogger Challenge?
