A couple of days ago, Jorjanne found something on our cat’s head. She tried to get it off, but couldn’t. We decided that it must be dead skin. A few days later, Jeff pulled the mysterious “thing” out to discover that another cat’s claw had been embedded in Darth Vader’s head. Ouch! A constant reminder of his last fight.

Today we were running along, and just as I was finding my stride, WHOOSH! Off she went. You see, my dog is a great running buddy until she gets distracted and then she has a mind of…
