Do you have a favorite fruit? My favorite fruit choice is slightly complicated. My allllllll time favorite fruit is peaches. BUT - I almost never buy them, because they are only good when they are perfectly ripe and in season. It's not like other fruit, which can be a little bit more forgiving.

Watermelon Salsa
One million percent inspiration for this recipe goes to my bestie, Megan.

Before we went got the the vet he was completely out - super super super tired. Like to the point where he could barely get up on the couch. But right when we got there he fully woke up again ...
