Good reminders! You have a new follower. ;)

Wow. People are NUTS. I respect all staff where we go! We often bring snacks because my pup is rather, um, difficult...and they STILL act like they're glad to see us when we come in. I've worked at a vet's and shelter. All positions - like many jobs everywhere - have so much more going on than what a person sees as they walk in. This article is a good reminder for those who aren't aware!

Ooooo...laughing... and crying. I mean, what're ya gonna do? Sweet baby boy. Lots of love!

I'm still pretty new here, and haven't written much, so haven't experienced anything awful....yet. Thanks for the heads up. I enjoy your writing, so wandered over to walkabout and signed up for newsetters!

WOW! Yay, you!

I also identify as a minimalist - and feel the same about haircuts, weekend coffee (I make drip or espresso at home M-F), a good mattress, and a few good knives. Also: stuff for my dog!

You bet I'll be watching. I keep starting to type more of a reply, but can't find a way to be succinct. I hope Donald J. and his minions get everything they deserve.

Dog Mom here. "Todd" is HERS. Dang. I can't even imagine.
