"Come they told me~ BA-RUMPA-PUM-PUM~" Damn that Eden anyway, thinks Tess as she realizes she's singing at the top of her lungs as she pulls up to her next stop. Her battered Ford truck hauls a little open trailer and inside the little trailer the reason for her visit: Six teeny, tiny, fluffy living Swiss Valais sheep looking for homes ( Read more... )

Evan isn't supposed to be coming back to the Deck until Christmas time. He's in fact supposed to be studying this weekend. He will be studying this weekend. Definitely 100% going to spend time studying here despite not having his study group to force him to when it starts to get boring ( Read more... )

Adrien Fitzgerald is usually seen dressed in only the latest styles. Whether it's jeans, slacks, dress shirts, shoes, he always looks good. Presentable. Not so much the case right now ( Read more... )

Ah, winter.

Despite the best advice aimed at him, he worried about her. That night was not spoken of, but he couldn't very ( Read more... )

[not listening] Mmhm, definitely think so.

Sorry, Iggy's just a little distracted at the moment. You might want to snap him out of that.

Caleb's never been much of one for birthdays. Whatever the family did was usually all he tolerated, preferring not to be the center of attention. This year is no different; in fact, there's maybe even less of a hurrah, as the only thing remotely close to celebration has been a quiet dinner with the family at Heart Castle Now, he's holding up a ( Read more... )

Bright and early Monday morning Tess climbs into her Mini Cooper Countryman and sets off on rounds. She'd established her house call service three years before. It's easier to treat large animals on location and plenty of pets were terrified of the vet's office. A happy animal is a healthy animal in her mind. Besides, it's nice to get out before ( Read more... )
