“I’m so glad my children are grown and can take care of themselves so I can relax & just look after myself”, I say as I put my tea down and get up from the couch to pour hot water over dog kibble & sprinkle it with probiotics and retrieve the orange ball (not the red ball) and throw it for the dog.
