Pictured are flea combs, brushes, nail trimmers, shaver, a portable grooming setup, and a scratchy arch toy. Pretty girl took down the arch into her bed and grooms herself […]
The clock is still ticking for the (back)YardSale on Sat Sept 7, 2024 in Manchester. Seven days to go. We started prepping the backyard today. Fair warning.
