Dare
Before my Mom fled Lithuania, she began her medical-school studies at Vytautas Magnus University. Mom forged many close friendships at that institution.

Non-Eastern European Bows Reunion

Verona, Wisconsin, August 2011. Poppy (the Puppy) rests in Mr. Irene's hands after her first grooming. The groomer explained that the pink bows "just somehow got there." She's doubled in size since then.
