Barney and Shadow and I headed out today for an activity that, to me, always signals the start of the holiday season: CARE for Animals Photos With Santa!

While Barney and Shadow were going for the first time, I was making my 11th trek to the Cammack City Hall. My first visit was with Piper when he was just 4 months old. Both Piper and Big Footsie were CARE rescues, so supporting them is close to my heart.

It was a little sad this year to be going not just without Big Footsie, but without Alex or Piper, who died this year. It is hard to be sad very long, though, in the company of Barn Bear and Shadow Man! (more…)

The day started with a can of his favorite treat, Fancy Feast Appetizers.

At the end of first period, Brandon, one of my 5th graders, came calling, “Alex, I have something for you!” (more…)
