September 8th is National Hug Your Hound Day #HugYourHoundDay which I am excited about because it allows me to shower even more LOVE on Pheobie and for Charlie to hug Bear. But it’s also a sad day because Annie is still at David’s Uncle’s so even though David loves Pheobie and bear he misses Annie a lot.
I wish David was off today and we could have visited Uncle Don and Aunt Barbara and seen Annie but that isn’t possible today but since were picking up Charlie’s friend Mykalia Thursday I know Charlie would like to show her Annie so I think I will ask David if we can go see them this weekend. Would you like to go with us to meet Annie?
