And One More Guest of Honor

🎂 Jerry turns 10 this year. His birthday is the 29th, but close enough.

A painting of Jerry, a black and white basset hound, sitting on mossy stones among cherry tomato plants and jack-o-lanterns under a purple Halloween sky, titled Jerry's 10th Halloween Birthday

A decade of Jerry: professional doorbell alarm, semi-professional napper, and now, homegrown tomato farmer. He grew his own plant this year and it actually produced red cherry tomatoes, which he guards like they’re candy. Come wish him a happy 10th. He accepts belly rubs as gifts.
