Feeding the Dogs
I strongly believe that every person deserves to feel useful and helpful. And in a family of six – two grown-ups, two kids and two dogs…there’s a lot of work to be done.
Mikey loved the job of feeding the dogs! Golden retrievers are a very gentle and patient breed, which seems to have been vital because Mikey looks to be dragging this out. LOL
All’s well that ends well…dogs fed and Mikey’s journal complete.
