I talked to my dad on my drive in to work & told him I’d done some writing about Frank & Carly<\/a>; he told me that he’d gotten a copy of the article that was written about them, oh so many years ago. He’s going to send it to me – he’d gotten it from the doctor who bought their land as a getaway acreage. In our chat, I reminded him about the lemon meringue pie & he reminded me of the dogs’ names – it was like uncorking a bottle of champagne, the memories just flooded around us. <\/p>\n

How on earth I could have forgotten those dogs’ names: Toots and Casper. Toots ruled the roost, was the yellowy-lab sort of mix, and Casper was just some flotsam-jetsam mix of something that had a lot of hair. For some reason I’d made Casper into a hound, in my memory twists, but indeed, he was an explosion of fur and not exactly placeable. And Frank – lordy. Dad reminded me of how he’d imitate Toots defending her food, like a maraca rattling in the back of his throat, lips curled up, exposing his teeth. <\/p>\n

Dogs. For those of us who love them, we sure can connect easily with others who do, too. The photos from New Orleans shred my heart, especially those of lost animals & then even the happy photos, of people reunited with their pets. (I should note it’s pretty easy to get me weepy.) Maybe because I love our own doggies so much, I can’t imagine being without the comfort & joy they give us. <\/p>\n

Suzy & Polly: lovable lummoxes!<\/p>\n
