One Year Ago Today, We Sold the House

Nox Does Need a License!

March 3, 2022 After Bruce mentioned that Nox wouldn’t need a license, one of Bruce’s Florida friends told him that most Florida counties do require dog licenses.

The House Is Now Sold!

October 15, 2021 Yesterday, we cleared out the last of the stuff from the house. One of my friends bought the TV and entertainment cabinet. It felt so strange to see the house completely empty.
