Dead Creatures

Concern has been expressed for the nearly dead rabbit I encountered last week, and indeed, at the time I had a little weep.
Whereas two days earlier, this dead rat had evinced a small shriek of horror. Funny how deep these ancient dreads run, to the point of being reflex actions.

    But why are folks shrieking fearful of benign creatures?

    Miss reading you more often, Deb.

    My second boxer, Tina, may have lung cancer and she lost the use of her hind legs. She's not even 8. Her sister, Frida, died of lymphoma in Feb. I'm bereft.
