puppies

Ain't love grand? Most of the time they still seem to be the best of siblings. But we do have a new delopement this week. Guapa is growling at Bonnie when Bonnie tries to eat.  They each have their own dishes.  Guapa inhales her food in less than 10 seconds, then goes over to Bonnie's … Continue reading…
