me and little bear went swimming without the harness it was a little awkward going back as she goes so fast i have to hold the leash or she'll vamoose on shore after bunnies but if i keep the ball she stays with me (with the ball). then we went to the produce pick up and i had to fit it all in my pack and little bear nabbed the tassel of an ear of corn. she wants to eat the world and i wonder if she'll be like hilde eating t-shirts and underwear when she's old. the owl envelope is from the blue grill by mary—thankee!
