A Random Blended Family Dog Tale
I’d dreamed of having my own Cavalier King Charles Spaniel ever since art history classes when their adorable little faces peeked out from behind skirts of royals in masterpieces.

Yesterday I overheard two women bemoaning their dull lives. “How are you today?” one asked the other. “Same-old, same old,” was the reply. I wanted to shake their doldrums away.
