Honestly, I just like the cool floor, but the hallway is a little narrow for my liking.

I met the nicest little guy at the dog park today. He’s a squirt— 6 months, 30 pounds (was I ever that smol???) but he played like a champ. Anyway, he needs a home. Someone get him & bring him over to play!

Your Daily Bumper is my recommendation for this nifty toy that squeaks and is good to chew on and makes an excellent tug and keep-away toy.

Someone just threw me and my business out on main…
