Adoption Update: Homecoming Trip (Here we go!)

Aug 14, 2016 By Layla

“It was exciting to be off on a journey she had looked forward to for months. Oddly, the billowing diesel fumes of the airport did not smell like suffocating effluence, it assumed a peculiar pungent scent that morning, like the beginning of a new adventure, if an adventure could exude a fragrance.”
-E.A. Bucchianeri
