I am constantly surprised by what I have to relearn, over and over again. Last weekend, was one of those surprising weekends.
Sunday was one of those days that tested my fortitude as a doggy mommy. The first time we went out, AccuWeather informed me that it was 48° with a real feel of 54°.

Last week I watched the TV special, A Very Gaga Thanksgiving. It was an entertaining, 90 minute program conceived, produced and directed by the Lady Gaga herself.
