It's really starting to take recognizable shape by this time, June 26th. My faithful little pal, Snickers, is on the stoop by the door.
(edit 8-25-18: Last month we celebrated Snickers' SEVENTEENTH birthday - the vet said he's doing okay except for an elevated BUN (blood urea nitrogen);
a harbinger of declining kidney function. His 17 years, the vet declared, is equivalent to 88 human years of age!)
