I didn’t want dogs because I wanted children. Children aren’t as hairy and my dogs will never learn English. Dogs don’t date, and they don’t mean I need to save for their university tuition.

Puppy Madness
Thanks for all of the well wishes last week about my mom’s hobbled cat Oliver and my puppies being neutered. They’re all doing very well, but it was a sad night without the boys. So much of everything now is geared around the puppies that having them gone was startling. I didn’t have to bus [...]
