This story made me sneeze out loud! (And shed a few tears.) Nice job, CJ.

This cracked me up. One of my exes bought a Bichon Frise, and that dog was so yappy. Nicely done, CJ.

Thank you very much, Russell. Sorry you had to deal with an annoying dog -- fortunately, Hailey was not one of the "yippers."

Thank you so much for this beautiful essay. I just found you on the London Writer's Hour where I spent 50 minutes writing an essay about my dog JuJu. The synchronicity just blew me away. You are an inspiration.

Thank you, Lynn, for reading, commenting and subscribing! I subscribed to yours but couldn't find a place to send you a comment so will do so here. "Synchronicity"--yes!

Please let me know when you publish your "JuJu" essay (what a great name!). In LWS, I think we all inspire (and support) each other. Hugs!

Such a sweet, sweet paean to your little doggie. I found CD despicable and wanted to clobber him with a baseball bat. I fell in love with your dimpled, easy-going husband ( such a cute photo!) Haily was a fluffy ball of joy. And your funny photos made me really laugh. An excellent read at 8 in the morning.

Thank you, Sharron, for the lovely comments here AND while it was still in progress. So grateful for you--and for your own writings which are inspiring. xo
