Home Again (Briefly) | My Shetland
OH helped me bring Iacs and Haakon home today. Haakon has a physio appointment first thing tomorrow and I want him nice and settled for it. He is very stiff in his back legs and I just want to set him up for a good comfortable summer. Iacs (aka Bibble) came along as company. There […]
