I don’t do scary. At all. And I am currently reading Sci-Fi monster horror thriller and I cannot put it down. If this were a movie I’d be screaming and crying and wouldn’t sleep for a month! Good thing it’s a book. #amreading

Oh, that’s super kind of you! This is a registered event, so I don’t want you to make the trip and then be turned away. I’m doing a public event at the library in January about service, therapy, and working dogs that you might like more!

13 is on Day 6 of being sick, but we saw the doctor yesterday and got some medicine, so hoping he gets better pretty quick here. I don’t know that he’s ever been this sick for this long.
