No time to paint this week, as we drove twelve hours roundtrip to pick up Sammie, (short for Samantha) from the wonderful Addison family who raise golden doodles in Georgia. Right now she’s two months old, but eventually she’ll be 35-40 pounds. Like a human baby, she’s adorable and lots of work, and very popular, not only with Bruce and me but also with our granddaughter Lila.
