Hello hello! After a short break, it’s time for another newsletter!
Despite being away for a while, I don’t have much to talk about. We got our boosters on the same day Charm went in for a dental cleaning and had some lumps removed, which involved anesthesia and surgery for her and just some shots for us. Somehow she recovered earlier and has been (sometimes literally) running circles around us.
