Charlotte stayed in the yard for a good 10 minutes. That is usualy her maximum time in there at a time, as we walk them 4-5 hours. day, in off leash parks and trails, plus to run errands with me. The house really feels WAY less busy without Laurel: he was quite a needy demanding presence- I loved every bit of him and it. So young! So very very young.

25 years old about that in human years, younger than Kurt Cobain! Sniff.
