Sep17

Even dogs don’t like

to dine alone. Knox grabs his

made a new reality

by tending to what

piece of a crepe myrtle tree

and proudly brought it

home to add to his growing

Watching The Deer and Butterflies

I wonder if earth

would be in better shape if

other species had

an equal say in how our

earth’s resources would be used?

You’d Think I’d Get It

The wise rise early.

I have it on the highest 

dog authority.

Knox makes his case for early

rising every single day.
