She wiggles too much lol.

This is much more me anyway...
Made for me by the lovely
Inspired by the actual events of late night dog walking

OMG - I am so glad you signed up for this one Patti - you make me laugh so much and I LOVE IT! Your pics are awesome and the one Nan did for you is crakin' me up!! Seriously,...as I've told you before,...you NEED to get your own reality show. I hate those things,...but yours I would watch and enjoy!

Yay, I'm glad you are joining the fun!!! Your photos are darling. And the one Nan made for you nearly had me rolling on the floor (though you may not have thought it was funny when you encountered the bear).
