Forty-eight hours ago we picked Ashley up from SportsVet boarding and brought her home. Today she very insistently led me the six or eight blocks back to SportsVet.
I guess she liked it okay. 🐕 #dogsofmastodon

My brother, @stevendbrewer, is contemplating various things, including holding office hours on the island, and the fact that this particular hour is very nearly over.
