You know. . .this picture says it all. Even though it is only 3 out of the 5. . . it's the heart and commaraderie in a pack that makes it so special to me. Just like your best group of girlfriends. . .there is always someone to play with, someone to chew on a stick with. . .and when it's dark and stormy there is always someone to cuddle up to and make everything okay. Our pack is very young with only one of the "first generation" still around. That… Continue
