Said goodbye to Duncan after a quick health decline related to his chronic health disorder

A big thank you to our friends and neighbors the Gages and Crombie's for taking care of us after our Christmas vacation plans got canceled due to Duncan getting sick, we ended up at their house for prime rib and an English Christmas feast and couldn't be more grateful.

And around the house...
Upped my Christmas decoration game inside and prepared the yard for the season with 30 bags of leaves and tree trimming - not too much, hooray!
