Clearly you are a cat person! We just went to look at puppies yesterday so I’m sure those quotes will apply to me soon if I substitute in the word dogs. And Didion’s quote is a classic. I have that written in a journal somewhere. The other two? It says everything about who they were, and why they will always be remembered. Thanks for dropping your five on us Tina! Hope you have a great weekend.
