I called Piper and Millie inside from playing and while Millie came right inside on eye contact, Piper looked and ran away.

She grabbed a stick, but then immediately dropped it, turned & ran inside, turned around to face me, and smiled

I didn’t start today thinking it would be one of those worst days as a pet parent.

The queen of our home is resting in peace.

I miss you as deeply as I love you, Maura

It’s hard to get a picture of Millie without Piper (successfully) trying to hog the spotlight but this precious face is worth the effort

Really liked this view from my train yesterday morning
Picture of the sunrise taken from my seat on my train. The window tint accentuates the teal and peach tones of the sunrise over the green bike rack, framed by the beige wall of the train.

Went on a quick road trip today!
