In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

When we first got Sunny for about the first year she would have bad dreams in the middle of the night and, being a light sleeper, I would always wake her up from them. Last night I had a bad dream and she woke me up with a cold nose pressed to my cheek. Thanks sweetie.

This is Sunny. The phone rang yesterday and so she was barking when Ed answered it. Ed's brother's dog Max heard her on the other end of the line and then he started barking so everyone was barking and talking and it was like a conference call.
