Cassidy's Walkabout
This is, fortunately, a better post than I have a right to make today. Some of you know about my Australian Shepherd, Cassidy.

Why Drink Shitty Wine?. Content Warning.
Why Do We Drink Shitty Wine? Let me set the scene: It’s Friday night. My Teddy Swims playlist is hitting all the right notes. (Despite me giving it my best effort, I am not hitting all the right notes with him), I am writing this while having a glass of wine. And there is no way around it-the wine sucks. I mean really shitty wine. (Truth be told, I am two glasses in-I’ll get to that in a minute.)
