"David is growing up so fast..."
"I can't believe how fast the time flies by. He's almost a young man."

Treats for Shadow
After the turkey leg incident at dinner, Ringo and Shadow had become good friends.....
.....and Shadow kept following Ringo around, hoping he'd be offered something more....

"You want me to get you something too, boy?"
"How about this eclair?"
