Drabble by Kevin Fagan for February 23, 2022

Well its been nice knowing you .

I thought she was going to be a new ongoing character. Guess not.

Echo’s partly right. Norm should choose his pet, too. Anybody who’d choose a badger over a dog isn’t all there.

Is the badger in the tunnel or the pink shirt?

It’s illegal to have a badger as a pet.

NORM?!?

Don’t even hesitate Norman! You don’t want a girl who would make you do such a thing. She’s selfish (she certainly isn’t offering to give up her pet, or even trying to compromise) and she clearly doesn’t really care about you :-/

(Wow lol Fagan has us up in arms! Wonder why he suddenly decided to go dramatic?!)

“It ain’t me, babe, I said no, no, no, it ain’t me, babe, it ain’t me you’re looking for, babe – Bob Dylan

Black is black. I want my Echo back.

Walk away, Norm!

As I mentioned a few days ago. This whole argument is stupid. Wally is NOT Norman’s dog. He is the family pet. I thought the badger also was, so no problem. Even if they do get together- the pets aren’t coming with them.

Oh, poor Wally, it looks like he’s going to find out the difference between pets and humans…

Hey Norm…there are plenty of other psychotic women out there…without badgers!

choose the dog. it is more loyal to you.

seems out of character for Echo – interested to see how the storyline plays out – does Echo regret her ultimatum? Does Norm choose Echo and the badger and break Wally’s heart? Does Wally overcome his natural hate of badgers to help Norman out? Does Norm just start crying and walk away? – Dogs are man’s best friend, right? Does the badger suck up to Wally? -—- Tune in tomorrow folks – same page – same story.

We all have heard or been in stories like this. I have had such an experience. I am glad I kept the cats.

Echo shows her true nature. One ultimatum leads to another. “You’ll have to choose between your family and mine.”Ultimatums are about power, not caring.

OR, they could get married and leave the pets with their families, thus being able to choose a joint pet they can agree on——

I had a woman who wanted me to chose between her and my best friend. I chose my best friend, but don’t think I didn’t think about her for a long time.

I would choose Wally over Echo. She already made her choice, and it’s not Norman.

Or you could…..y’know….NOT bring your pets over to each others houses? Like logical people?…..oh right…..Norm and Echo….my bad.

Gonna miss Echo.

Lives together? Wally doesn’t go with Norm if Norm moves out?!?

I love that she sees him giving up his dog as the only answer instead of her getting rid of the badger or both giving up their pets. What a peach of a girl.

Anyone who says “your pet or me” regardless of what type of pet you have is a goner in my book. Always choose the pet.

Hit the road Echo…Echo…Echo…Echo

Buh bye Echo

If she comes up with an ultimatum, then:

Forget about the Ventures—don’t walk. Run.

I was crazy about a man who was seriously allergic to cats and I had 3 of them. We split by mutual agreement, he knew I wasn’t giving them up. Even with meds, he was miserable.

Norm is suffering from a broken heart.

If that is her attitude, I think he would be better off choosing Wally.
