The gorgeous Annie says that this is a wee cairn terrier puppy (her name is Morag)

But nobody can convince me they haven't given her a baby grizzly bear

#Lookatthatlittleface ❤️
Morag says good morning & would like to politely enquire about breakfast?

Well that was a doozy of a #BNEstorm. High winds, lashing rain running up the walls out side the bedroom. Fortunately only pea-sized hail in our part of #4068
