Today we got to carry on a long held tradition for Sit Happens. Today was STEM Day at Cleveland Road Elementary School. Charlie was so tired by the end of the day, I think Sarah and I were afraid we might have to carry him. He met tons of kiddos and was happy to grab massages. We talked about all sorts of things (and learned some things too). It was a great day. We look forward to it every year. His vet wrap is about protecting an injury from earlier in the week climbing around in a shrub. 🤣

Great job Hazel & Pepper and your Mommas.... you're rocking it out!
