Here’s something worth thinking about.
If you meet someone named Gus, is it short for August, Augustine, Augustus, or Asparagus?
Just a thought. After all, that leonine month is upon us, great gusts of goodness surely bellowing our way.
But first, may we turn our eyes to the July that was:

OMG the pictures of Ralph and Arlo are wonderful. Lots of wonderful adoptions in July. Octavia will be wonderful with her awesome adopters – happiness and love forever. In another world, Miriam spent every minute of her 13 years in my arms – I will love her forever. Thank you for loving and taking care of her.
