Happy day with all my pups. My little girl was an angel as always. My girl-pup I sat went for a BIG WALK with me and was flawless on leash. For a rescue, barely over a year, she's impressive. My other girl-pups were so happy and have full tummies. Washed all the bowls, tucked them in for the night.🐾
