Hello my friend, @redheadpei,
The little puppy (not so little) is driving me ragged, but he is sweet and innocent. He misses his 'mother' (my daughter) and stares at the front door. But he knows me well and I think loves me a little, so it will be OK.
We are having a tolerable summer, some very hot days, but not as bad as many places. I stay indoors when it's hot.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you and you furry friends in the yard are having a great summer. Take care of yourself.
