See See came in heat on my birthday, and will peak on Christmas Day, and be fertile through New Year’s Day. So my house is absolutely nuts. Good thing I didn’t make any big plans.

Just saying, he has 11 points toward his championship now, yay. I realized I never posted his last win pic, so this pic is fromContinue reading “Another point for Winston, and how did the puppies do today?”
