Boza, Sveta and I just emptied our shoes from the excess sand, asContinue reading Boza thanks you and so do we!

Boza could not even get enough energy to even straw boss properly and he just gave up. Went to sleep and let us humans do our thing.

Tonight I will pick my sweety pie up from the Big Village. Svetochka will be here for about five days and enjoy the village life. I am so happy and I know Boza will be very glad to see her.
