I won’t be able to hold out much longer. Bailey, a border collie mix, is laying at the top of the stairs staring at me with her head over the top step. I’m working at home today. Having a cute dog in front of me makes it hard. I think I’ll go [...]

…Patrish, Tish, Pancake Smush (on the side of the road), Pat (but not after the SNL skit). These are all nicknames I’ve used at some point in my life. Some of them make sense, but what about Pitatayo?
