I Love the Donovans
They’re such good people.
Two days ago when I was out for a jog, a puppy followed me the whole way. She’s about 6 months old, a mutt, and cute as hell. Anyway, we put up posters yesterday at the local store to see if anyone claims her. Still not knowing if she has a good home or not, John (the big teddy bear) took her to the vet this morning for her wonky hip and banged up snout.
Think about that: At their own expense, this puppy is being taken care of, even though she may not wind up staying here at Argghhh! You can tell the character of people by the way they treat helpless animals. The Donovans surely have a place waiting in Heaven.
Update: Damn. Her name is Maggie (we’ve been calling her Piper), and she has a home. Bye baby. You were very sweet. Now, stay away from joggers!
That puppy is adorable.

We’re gonna miss her. She was a sweetie.

Cuteness! Sorry you had to let her go, but I’m glad you found her people…I’m sure they’ve missed her.

Right Girl, I’m really glad you stayed around and I hope you get to meet many other Kansans like the Donovans. They call us fly-over country on the coasts and try to dismiss us as rubes with no knowlege of the real world but they could learn a lot from regular folks. Most people I know have a great deal more life experience than the perfumed, blow dried, out-of-touch elites on the coasts. kansans, and midwesterners in general are genuine and tollerant people who just want to be left alone to do their thing and ask only for help from fellow citizens when disaster strikes. The rest of the time we can and will get by on our own and wish others would try to do so as well.
Glad you have been to Kansas and hope you get to see more of the state and it’s people while you’re here.
