Today I am grateful for these bitter cold temperatures as I can kick frozen dog p**p into the shovel without compromising the integrity of my slippers ❣️Don't judge IYKYK 😃 (ya'll know this is AI as I couldn't possibly kick that high nor would I have this much fun doing so 😁)

Boone asked if he could tell everyone what his most favorite thing to do is at PFAW. He says he LOVES to check everyone's food bowl before checking his own in hopes that there's either leftovers or something new that he hasn't tried yet. Most of the time he's disappointed as there's usually nothing left though he remains hopeful and persistent 😘

This may be an unpopular opinion but there's something about cold mornings that bring solace and peace for me. I bundled up and went outside with each guest as they quickly did their morning business then fed the ducks and chickens all while darkness transitioned to light. It's a quiet time to simply enjoy the moment. The cold energizes me! Rufus says "Stop with this reflection bullsh*t and get us breakfast"! 😁
