As corny as this sounds, I looked over at Moose – enjoying hanging his head out a car window for the first time in a long, long time. And the chorus of a George Strait song started streaming through my head:

[Mom], this could be the best day of my life.
I’ve been dreamin’ day and night about the fun we’ve had.
Just me and you doin’ what I’ve always wanted to.
I’m the luckiest boy alive
This is the best day of my life.

Principi’s roaming through the house meowing. My eyes are leaking. But we’ll be fine.

Cause Moose had the best day of his life today. Spaghetti last night. Coffee and a car ride this morning.

Such a good boy…
