Today I am grateful for my dogs. Such unconditional love and pure joy from our best friends. Humans could learn a thing or two.
You’re the head of security
Okay so Queen Bee isn’t the only one to have shower songs.
Today’s earworm was brought to you by a silly memory of a story I heard third hand about Neil Finn’s dalmatian Lester getting conjunctivitis. Allegedly the vet looked in Lester’s eyes and said “I see red, I see red, I see red.” *GROAN*

This is all news to me. Well… Sort of news. With two sons and a sister officially diagnosed with ADHD and years of experience living with others with it, I long suspected that I too had this condition. So I got myself assessed.
