Day 5 of Challenge #1 – Pen It In

Our little man, Yoshi, got neutered today. He was such a trooper throughout, but became mopey once the cone came on and he realized he couldn’t play with any of his pup friends (little does he know that’ll be the case for a week).

I know people say if you really want something, you’ll do it, but that has never really been the case for me. The mostContinue reading “Day 1 of Challenge #1 – Working Out”
