*Whew!* I logged in and saw the old thread for 2018 was closed, forgetting that today was New Year's Day (yeah, saying goodbye to a beloved pet and then trying to refocus your grief-addled brain is a real chore!). Thankfully, it is not a dead thread.
So, I was thinking just now as I logged in, what if Laura were to get a pet dog? I know A LOT of people are cat enthusiasts, but I am not. Seriously, tho', a dog and Laura would be good together. Maybe she could get a Mini Schnauzer? Wouldn't that be something, yeah? And, yes, I am somewhat biased, but hugs for everyone!
