Hello, Readers! Linz the Neglectful Blogger, here. I hope everyone is doing well.
There have been a lot of changes going on lately in my life. I haven't really been reading all of that much as a result. I think I announced in a more recent post that I'm going back to school for my Doctorate. So between work and school, it's been a little crazy. In addition, there has been a new addition to our family.
As of last night, we started the Foster to Adopt process for this beauty. Her name is Riley. She's a St Bernard/Great Pyrenees mix. She's about five years old. We'll see if she lets me read. Thus far, it has been determined that I should be giving her all of the attention instead of ordering groceries online.
