M. has gone to Miami this morning for five days. And has left me to cope solo with his pack of dogs and his cute kitty.

Which would be just fine if Riley weren’t so … hysterical … about it all.
This is a shot of Riley protecting his dinner from the other dogs.

Well, no, actually it isn’t. But it really does perfectly convey the tone of his … hysteria. And what lies in store for me this week.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.

Please.

Amen.
