Bug Died (I'm sad)

Last week Bug died. She's the little one to the right. Nose covered in dirt. Then the next image was taken on a wee early morning as I passed the screen doors in the kitchen. 

Little Bug. 

Just looking out at the world. With those teeny tiny shoulders and little head. Too cute. 

We miss her.

  21. Since your email still isn't working I wanted to answer your question from my blog here. I get the hardware for the bags on Amazon. You can just do a search for bag hardware or specific pieces like D rings, swivel clips or strap sliders.
