Great writing as always! As a dog (and cat) owner I love this: “Is that a service animal?” by saying, “Yes, he helps me maintain my sanity.” They certainly do.

Love the memories. Especially when you recall family members with stories that bring a smile to my face or even tears to my eyes. Keep up the great writing. You’ve got stories to tell and inspiration and interpretation of events we need to hear. ❤️

We love your writings and your rich life experiences, don’t despair with an aging furnace, my microwave and washing machine both finished in the same week and the new ones are so superior, that now it is evident that it was actually a blessing in disguise.

One of your VERY best writings!! I’m going to call the library and GET THAT BOOK!!! and after I’m finished with my cat infested stint here, I am definitely going to get a weiner dawggie!! puppy.

At the moment, to comment on everything else I found fascinating, interesting, enlightening, and sad… might get me fired 😱

Hope writing and telling that short story out into the ether, was cathartic…

Please give that faithful, steadfast, big-nosed ‘Shep’ a welcomed scratch behind his ear for me. ♥️

Ttyl

Please do consider writing and publishing a tomb of short stories…I would buy it!

Thanks. But a "tomb," not a "tome"? Was that a Freudian slip?

Not sure if my reply ‘sent’ earlier… meant tome but I dictated and overlooked it… lol not a Freudian slip, but a ‘Siri-an’ oopsie 🤓

Thx for the post.

Y'all make a cute couple.

Hope your furnace limps along until you coincidentally find a great bargain on the replacement!

Short paragraph attempt.

Hugs.
