Help me feed the doggo. Otherwise, without your contribution, she might eat the kitty! No one wants that on their conscience. Become a subscriber or live with kitty guilt!

(I know it undermines my marketing, but I am duty bound to admit that the dog is completely harmless. She nuzzles mice when she comes across them. Also I’m pretty sure she thinks the kitties are her puppies.)

Where was I? oh right; become a subscriber despite my mixed marketing messages! Your contributions help me keep scribbling…and this is what I scribbled this week.
