"Where the Red Fern Grows" (I always cry.) "The Old Man and the Sea" (Hemingway, I have his complete works but this one is my favorite.) All the Wilder books.

I lived in South and Central Texas for most of my life. We ALL knew to drip faucets when it went below freezing. We ALL knew to fill the bathtub and every other available container with water when a hurricane was coming and to have plywood around to board up windows. Or at least I thought we...

Aw, Dingfelder, I am so sorry. It is still too fresh to even think about this. I had my little girl put down on April 1, 2019, and swore I would never get another. I am 69 and you said exactly what I thought. After eight months, I decided to look around and found my now furbaby at the local...
