When I was in the fox hole , I never thought oh lord if I get thru this nightmare and they remove the shrapnel I'd love to pick up dog excrement in a clear plastic bag off my neighbors lawn (even tho we have a ton of dog parks for this event or better yet the dog lovers own lawn) then carry it though the neighbor hood like a bag of truffles on award night.

Speaking of truffles in bags. Happy Halloween (or fall festival) if you're opposed to Halloween for some reason)

Oh my, there are so many responses I could give you, but I will make this brief and to the point. Were it not for my dog, my sole companion, I don’t know how I would have made it through the pandemic. She is a constant source of happiness for me. Yes, we go for golf cart rides and she has her own golf cart seat which is elevated and tethered. To quote you, “what part of the brain doesn’t understand this?” I assume that you never had a dog. I’ve had 13 in my life and each one has made my life better. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like and somehow I think if I ever met you I wouldn’t be able to say the same.
