Can Cato come to book club? Maybe we can reform her there.

That is a brilliant idea I wish I had thought of myself.

Love this, Mary! You made me laugh with "her soft, gorgeous fur which smells faintly of kibble, partially chewed pinecones and betrayal." I have not yet suspected my dog of being in a Moms for Liberty chapter, but I am taking note that she chewed up the journal pages where I wrote about her....

🤣 I thought it would resonate. Cato also shred a story I wrote about her- I think these dogs might be onto something

Okay, I think I may have to borrow the line "which smells faintly of kibble, partially chewed pinecones and betrayal. " I just need a character who betrays someone who eats kibble, I guess. A lovely light hearted read. You can never be too careful.

Thanks for reading. I didn’t realize this was like a thing lots of dogs do.

One of the ones we had to apologize for was a memoir titled Let’s Pretend This Never Happened. I’m certain she could read. 🤣🤣🤣

Hilarious. 😂 When I was a kid, my dog ate my library book, and it was so embarrassing to show the librarian the remains, but I was afraid without proof she’d think I lost it.

Love that. I guess it’s more common than I thought.
