Animals never cease to amaze me, and when I say animals I don’t just mean dogs because they are my favorite animals but I mean animals of all kinds, except creepy crawlies like snakes and crabs which creep the living daylights out of me.

For some strange reason this past week has had events that led me down memory lane more than I have been in the recent years. Some memories were good while some were not so good.
