Just shared this photo and it made me smile. Heidi made this blue masquerade mask for me for a fundraising gala we went to many years ago.

It’s apparently National Beagle Day. I’d snap a photo of Lucy, but she’s hiding under the covers because her tummy’s a little upset today. So here’s a .gif of her and I being silly when she was a pup. God I love this dog.
