Ryan Reed and family back from Orange Beach. He said they had a great time. sure hope he got some rest, he works so hard and needed a break. Will be down in a few days to visit and pick up the dog. Squeaky has made it fine but I can’t understand what she’s trying to tell me. So funny, she’ll look right at me and make barking/whiney sounds like I’m supposed to understand. Maybe eventually and Idgy herds squeaky away from areas of the yard she deems off limits. It’s fun to watch.
