Normal Day
So, after all of the festivities yesterday, did we get any leftovers? Nope! It seems our humans found out that the Open Door Soup Kitchen of Waynesville was serving hot dogs for dinner last night because that is all that they had. So all of our leftover barbeque, chicken, vegetables and so on went there.…
