Not quite so easy anymore

But who am I to tell my dogs about the immutable physical forces they must contend with?

The face you make when you realize you’ve flown a bit too close to the sun

And back here on planet earth? Well, no laws of physics can save you from Penny, so you’d better start running! Rhodesian Ridgeback, puppy, Montrose Dog Beach, Chicago, Marking Our Territory
