    Ha! Would it be too morbid if I commented that my farm kids skinned a dead mouse today so this gives me an even darker chuckle 😀

    One is left pondering the possibilities of how Reggie successfully bagged the cat. Have you any particulars?

    Still laughing – longer than is healthy I suspect. Now I wonder what I’d give to create such amazing images. Oh! I mean, “poor Pus!” : >

    Busy working on my novel and prepping to teach a class, so I’m re-posting this 33 word “tail” from two years back. Stay warm, friends!
