A rival called Norman (Rousse)

Posted on August 1, 2016 by Dreamaticus

I left with AJ. She seemed rather agitated. In the lift I declared my love for her. This didn’t seem to solve her dilemma: to support me or to support Norman. We were temporarily distracted by the sound of TPR’s … Continue reading →

Posted on July 29, 2016 by Dreamaticus

We’d acquired a dog, but I knew that TPR already regretted taking on this bouncy black spaniel. One morning I discovered that he had not taken the poor pooch out the house even once the previous day. Even so, she … Continue reading →

Slippery when wet (Rousse)

Posted on July 19, 2016 by Dreamaticus
