Thank you! The dogs are the best, as always. Haha, Bella seemed very unsure why she was being packed up in the box, lol. Bella used to be a little weird about her collar - she was VERY unhappy about anything making noise behind her head, so the collar buckle would make her panic, but so would like... the click of a pen. We thought she was over that issue, but then the vet undid her collar for part of her physical exam, and she freaked out about it again. Stranger danger, apparently!

The irises are BEAUTIFUL this year. We saw a ton at the botanic gardens this week - there will be way too many pictures whenever I get caught up on things.

I deeply miss the irises at the house I grew up in. The previous owner had planted them in several beds in the backyard (plus my mom had the beds of her grandfather's irises up front.) There were some amazing colors in the back that I've never seen elsewhere.
