That's at a K-9 school with crossing lights.

Why are all the videos that show those lovely darning techniques on big chunky knits? Can't even find the stitches here...

Oooookay. Perhaps that wasn't the right person to be reviewing meds with?

A bird perched on on bare branches with a snowy background. A Northern Flicker showing the red mustache and white rump of a red-shafted, but also a small patch of red on the nape, and yellow on the wings of a yellow shafted

A chubby grey calico, long-haired cat lies on a cement pad exposing her belly for skritches

This is Something, my dad's delightful farm cat in her fat well insulated winter mode.

Smart-asses are important.
