Hello everyone, it’s me – Fiji. I don’t believe it! It’s just not right! A few days ago I finally relented and told Mom she was no longer grounded. If you remember, I grounded her when she returned from Mauritius at the end of last year and told her she wasn’t allowed to leave the …

Hello everyone – it’s me, Fiji! I’m so excited right now that I’m bouncing up and down and wagging my tail full speed. Because the book that Mom and I wrote is now available on Amazon. Even more than that, we’re going to be having a launch party on Zoom and would love for you …
