A finger in my ear never made me feel like smiling - grunting maybe - but not smiling.  A finger in either one of Evie’s ears will first elicit a little groan and the crack of a smile.  Persist and go deeper and you’ll get a bigger groan with a smile.  Do both ears like […]

Barbara and I don’t travel much with our dogs. Most of our travel, because of my job, tends to be international or long-distance domestic, and taking one or more dogs would be difficult and expensive.
