Dogs, the ultimate time management experts.

Andi, you may have misinterpreted your pups. I think they just may be deep in meditation, pondering the meaning of life. (I know that’s the way I do it, but usually on a couch.) 😉
I think they are in serious training because they want to to try to take away the “most relaxed BooTrib critter” crown away from the marmot.

when dogs fly!
Woohoo!
Okay, I’m never humble, but thanks….
