Hey, it's cool, I have regular chats with my dogs too...one of them is a 13 year old who is clearly slowing down, and yet she is the one that's obviously better at helping me sort my issues. Okay, okay, I also have a mare who has a goot head on her shoulders when it comes to maintaining a sense of realism.....
It's lonely that you can't be at your daughter's wedding. That's gotta suck. It's lonely by yourself in Indiana, eh? Guess maybe it's one of the reasons you keep stopping in at Indianz and Voy...some kind of contact feels better than being stuck inside an Indiana vacuum bottle.
I can't relate to the wedding deal- but I can relate to being on the isolated side. I'm the only real NDN I can see for MILES around here, I'm not ready to cave and go visit with them Shawnees quite yet.....
So I talk to my dogs, share an apple with the mare, hang with the peeps on Indianz...
It's cool.
Here, Steve. Have an apple.
