Sleepiest puppy ever.

Let's see how this goes...

I'm back! So far...
This Armywife is still on the Prairie, just a different one!
Last week O and I made the move from Sioux Falls, S. Dakota to Camp Humphreys, S. Korea! Our new city is just south of Seoul and is a lot like Sioux Falls - bustling town with surrounding rural area.
Here is my last view from our apartment in Sioux Falls:
