DG and Ladybird

When I first brought Ladybird home, DG was very scared of her. She would run and hide if I even showed the puppy to her! Obviously that has now changed, and DG's natural curiosity is winning out. It looks like these two might soon be the best of friends!

He's the courageous (simple?) one. This is Meaner's world. He is the brave king of the porch, barn, and garage...As long as Bessie … Continue reading Icy day
