a pet 

A Good Thing – 

A dog can catch the food before it hits the floor. A cat can catch a rat. A pet cannot replace the child. Not even two of them. I now see older people taking care of their kid’s dog. What happened to grandchildren? Only the pets are multiplying. Math is hard.

What is good about having a pet?

a year to re-live 

A High School Senior – 

A small school and a big boy. My last year at being somebody. My next year at a big school was the wakeup call. I would have my moments but I always knew that I was now playing with the big boys. My family was job one. There I was still somebody.
