there is no doubt in my mind or heart why I like you so.

However, to be treated as Erica, Lynn, Kate, troll, Aunty, and to some extent even Bird and Cora treated me?
It isn't part of me to be so cruel.

Nor you, I'll bet.
Our neighbors have outside dogs, too.
Some of the nastiest storms pass by here and those dogs stay outside.
Through lightning and thunder so close, so bright it runs electricity through your very soul, and the dogs stay outside.

Now, I know it was a tropical storm/hurricane, but I'm telling you, without a doubt having been in both....
These here are much worse than those. They come all year long without so much as a whisper of foreseen forecast, sometimes.

But they keep their dogs out in it.

And you, with your outside dog...
Ol' Sparky.
Oh, Jean, if I die before you, I hope I come back as one of your dogs.

I promise to not make in the house.
Warm your feet at night.
Clean your plates in the evening (even if you have to still wash the plates afterwords) and I pray I never chew your good shoes, but I will growl and bark at the UPS dude always.

Woof.

....gosh, in fact, this could be a picture of me with that UPS guy's food offering, now.

Yum.

Hey, one can lead to the other, sweat to glow, in multiples even. Or, so I believe I have seen.

Good to see you are still not drowned. *knocking on wood* I guess keeping your chin up has more meaning than it used to?

Jean said...

Doom...'sweat to glow' I don't mind a bit :-)
Hot and sunny here all week.

rain, rain, go away

I like that one Jeannie and it is probably how you are feeling after cleaning up all of the mess from the storm. :) xoxox
