NEWEST HOBBY:

Removes insoles from any and every shoe
Riding in the car with his head out the window

PHRASES HE PRETENDS NOT TO UNDERSTAND:
"Quiet time."
"This is MY dinner."
"That's not for doggies."
"What's in your mouth?"


Lance, along with his mother Charlotte and his seven siblings, made quite an entrance to GLBCR - they were born in the car on the way to their foster home!
