He paused on this branch for a moment showing his beautiful blues before heading back to the chase. pic.twitter.com/0q050WZkrf — Jocelyn Anderson Photography (@JocAPhotography) May 28, 2026 7:38 hours of sleep, including 3 hours afte rbreakfast. The sleep was a HUGE blessing but I barely had time for a shower, made it to the buss with dreadful bed head, and got the hair combed out and rebraided on the way to PT. And PT as always is amazing.
