"Spike Gotcha" 2 years ago

2 years ago today we added the most perfect addition to our lives.

 

We have been told we spoil him, we own it! My Grandma always said, "You're never spoiled, just well loved."  So, our Spike get treats every night, veggies mixed with his food, a heated disc in his cage, a heat lamp, fleece and bedding in his cage and lots of handling time with us.     

We look forward to watching him run every morning and snuggling with him every night.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time to pause and reflect for all the blessings we have in our life.  Just for grins, I have taken time to think of something I am thankful for for each letter of the alphabet.
