Yesterday we said goodbye to Daisy who left us very peacefully at age 13 1/2. Heartbroken but grateful for so many lovely years together.

When my 2yo son runs into my home office to 'help do working', I immediately unplug my mouse and keyboard and find a video of a train on YouTube to distract him. Fairly sure he thinks my job is watching videos of trains...
