The Small World of Little Toot
Care for Yourself
Lil’ Toot here. Some have said I’m spoiled. I sit on Mom’s lap, and generally have My Way when We’re at the office. I swarm Clients as They come through the Door, checking to see if They are Critter people. Others have noted I’m block-headed. If I am focused on a goal, there’s no stopping…

Lil’ Toot here. I was pondering this maxim the other day on my Early Morning Walk with mom. It was still a little dark as we moved down the road to my Favorite Spot. As we headed that direction, I stopped and stared. A block ahead of me, in plain sight, was the Biggest Dumpster…
