In honor of this week’s Monday Listicles theme, favorite words, I thought I would put together Islay’s list of favorite words and then the counter list of the words I say most to her. We are working hard on training and she tries really hard, but there are times the seven month old puppy brain …
Will’s Funny Words

Big Gulp
