All bold text wall, same effect as all caps.

Glad Snaggletooth Willie isn’t going to be Willie McGumsalot just yet!
Haha sorry, couldn't figure it out! Once I turned on the bold option it wouldn't turn off. Must be glitch with the mobile site. When you select or unselect the "B" for bold it would change from light gray to dark gray but the text in my post stayed the same. @Cvargo has anyone else mentioned having this issue before?

Is the tooth in the front? He may whistle when he barks.
Bottom front so there's a possibility 😂😂😂
 
No shave yesterday. It was a sad day for us as we said goodbye to a member of the family. My dog, that eventually became my parents’ dog, Toots crosses the rainbow bridge yesterday morning. Here she is with Willie:

It was a sad day but we gave her a good life. We’re not sure exactly what happened, but in the last few months she became extremely diabetic and was beginning to suffer. There were options to attempt to treat it, but at 15 years old we didn’t want her to suffer through that.

With everything that was going on yesterday I forgot to mention that I did receive a mail call. My order from @CBLSoap.com arrived. Has to be the quickest order I’ve ever received without paying extra for expedited shipping. Thanks for the awesome work @CBLindsay!

Since tonight is the second to last episode of GOT I went with the Iron Throne soap. It definitely has a Bay Rum-ness to it. But the juniper also comes through fairly strong. The menthol and cooling agent are perfect for my taste. Strong enough to really cool the face, but not too strong enough to where your eyes start burning.


In Other News:
Yesterday’s tough news was still lingering today, and probably will for a little while. But today was a good day as I was able to spend it with some pretty great moms. My father, father-in-law, and myself took my mother, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and wife out for dinner. We had a great time and it was much needed, especially for my mother.

Appreciating the time with Willie a little note the last few days...
 
Sorry to hear of the loss Steve. Always tough I know
Little furry members of the family. Sport to hear Steve.
Sorry for the loss.
Thanks guys. It's never easy, but I really think it was the right choice. She would've been very uncomfortable and there was no guarantee we would have even gotten the issue under control. We didn't want her to suffer at all. She was also starting to have major issues with her hips so that made things even worse.

Pretty good shave today. I seem to be back to getting regular irritation on the lower neck area, so I think my technique has been getting sloppy. I need to pay attention to that a little more. Otherwise DFS so I can't complain.

I signed up for a free 3 month trial of Apple Music. It seems it gives you access to anything available through iTunes with the option to save to your device or listen via streaming. So far it's been pretty good, and at $15/month for a family plan to allow 3 of us to use it independently, I'll probably end up signing up once the trial is over.

Willie World:
It's been raining here for the last 2 days and Willie isn't happy. He's so low to the ground that he ends up soaked if the grass is too high. That and he's kind of a big deal. Doesn't feel that he should have to go for walks in the rain because he's "above that"
