And a dog

Paper plates and plastic forks

Leftover pork and beans

A worn out recliner

A television

and a dog

 

Who doesn’t care about me either

You created an impressive mood of alienation with a chain of relationships. Perhaps we may add to this chain:

Murphy’s Law

A house
that’s not a home.
A car
that never starts.
A sky
that’s never blue.
A match
that never lights.
A gun
that never fires.
A friend
who never calls.
A bird
who never sings.
A parrot
who never talks.
A kitten
who never purrs.

can't get any worse than that will! i'll put a steak on the barbie for you .. throw a bone to the dog .. you can have the couch in the living room .. your choice of veggie fresh from the farm :) wishing you well and prosperous!

I thought a dog's love was unconditional.
Oh wait!!!
I get it!
Is this dog female? By chance?

[willweb]

Good guess, all it ever gives me is fleas. Thanks so much Ance.

You need a dog with stays not fleas.

[willweb]

Clever!!! :)

[Matching Socks]

Yes, well. I'm not just a pretty old face. :)

[willweb]
