Click on the photo of Ferdinand, the dog J-Man and I helped rescue recently, for a little holiday listening treat. I tried to keep the cheer to a minimum, for those of you who aren’t so cheery around the holidays. An itty bit of cheer came through all the same. Deal.

Thank you, Tim! This will be required listening. (And Ferdinand couldn’t ask for a better home! Cheers to the latest addition to your family!)
To clarify, we didn’t adopt Ferdinand ourselves. We helped get him from the shelter to another family. As sweet an old guy as he is, we aren’t set up to take care of him. Happy holidays, y’all!
What a great mix! Really great transitions too.
