Elsa lost her “Woo” mid-July. Our giant-schnauzer/husky gal was quiet, sick, not herself. After months of tests, meds, & worry, she’s finally recovering—and she Woo’d again! 🎉

Her lungs are healing, her energy is back, and she’s sassy once more.🐾 Big sigh of relief. ❤️

A memory popped up elsewhere for me about my nephew's birthday. Got me thinking about how I still try to live like that, even more as I get older.

This is the Pet Therapy group that Elsa & I are part of. We need more teams for the school year (DuPage Co., IL). If you are a Pet Partners Therapy team or looking to becoming one, please watch & reach out. These visits are some of the most rewarding things I do.

OMG... because we listen to bluegrass, this comedy bluegrass band popped up in our feed... They've covered things from Walk Like an Egyptian to Milkshake to songs by the Black Eyed Peas and the Zombies.

How did I not know about them before now?

No Kings, Elmhurst IL. About 1400 people. Great turnout for a small community.

David Brooks' recent speech at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship is well worth the time. Powerful, interesting notes on historical moments with similarities to our times, some profundity, as well as some hope.

Happy 9th Birthday, Koyuk! To celebrate, we did a snowy fatTrikejor run (still not enough to groom for sled, though we're still hoping for tomorrow). Pretty morning.
