I am still repeatedly learning this lesson myself. (Why can't I just learn it already?!) I'm glad that you had a good ride on her where you both stayed pretty focused. It had to feel good and give you a lift in the right direction!Liz Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267806576736655184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-61040118957742464382020-07-25T20:16:10.001-03:002020-07-25T20:16:10.001-03:00Guinness is a great dog, I'm glad you enjoyed...Guinness is a great dog, I'm glad you enjoyed my post.
