Dogsitting this spaniel makes me appreciate my silken windhound more. It's a real companion breed: they want to stay near you but are not needy.

Fittingly, a lot of the book discussion contains spoilers. It's hard to talk about the book's meaning without talking about THE THING. So if you're wanting to talk about FIEND, this should scratch that itch

It's been so busy that there's been no time to enjoy or celebrate Halloween specifically. I guess the rising price of chocolate making traditional treats unaffordable or unavailable just about says it all
