While not exactly a tribute to Connie Francis’ song, I thought I’d update y’all on our fish. As you may recall our dog Booker decided to mass murder our pond fish last week. For reasons only our fish and their little guardian fish-angels (angel fish?) know, most of them survived Bookers teeth and an extended period of time on the… Read More
