Today Ratchet was sitting by the back door with his head down, looking sad. I asked him if he needed to go outside and opened the door for him. He didn’t budge. I shut the door and said, “You don’t want to go outside? Do you want to play?”
His ears perked up.
“You want to play. Go get your toy”
He ran off and grabbed his toy.
I love him.

I dabble in freelance webdesign, and I'm also a runner, albeit a kind of slow one. Tom Glavine is my favorite athlete of all-time.
