“Up!”: Higgs on Things

It’s about time Higgs had a blog all his own. This life really is The Higgs Show, and Andy and I are just extras, after all.

Higgs has mastered the command of “up,” and jumps on all sorts of things when told (and sometimes of his own accord). Occasionally, he’s not feeling it, so I just place him on said things.

Here’s a story of a little dog with a big heart, and his journey to stand atop things large and small.
