We are channeling peace and quiet this morning at our house.

The roofers are banging around and Riley is beside himself. The vet just sold us pheromone-emitting devices that work for some dogs. We can only hope.

Let me give you the picture any given non-roofer day. Old Tinker walks around, sweet but confused. Little He lounges with one eye open to be sure Riley doesn’t pounce. He can leap up in an instant if needed. Puddin reclines, apart from it all. Riley is on the alert for any little noise.

Peace. Quiet. DAP Diffusing peace and quiet. Please.
