I’ll be 44 in a couple weeks, the past year or two my memory has gone down the drain! I’ve always been the type who could easily recall names, faces, past conversations… hope I’m not getting dementia already!
Here in small town America men still hold doors open for me and I always thank them! It’s more often than not the older gentlemen who’ll tell me I have a pretty smile or beautiful eyes and it makes my day every time! But when we happen to take a trip to a bigger city nobody holds doors open or compliments you (not even other women who will often tell me something nice at home) instead just about everyone has an angry, sullen or “leave me alone” look on their face even if you dare to smile at someone. I’m always glad to come back home!
I don’t because I don’t appreciate it when it’s done to me. My dogs go mostly on our daily walks into the desert and foothills around our town otherwise in our own backyard. But there’s certainly people around here who let their dogs go in our front yard, both neighbors and people from outside the immediate area (jerks!)
We moved into town a few years back and encountered city rats almost immediately (prior we’d lived out amongst the farmers and fields and mostly saw fieldmice) there was a big cactus in the far corner of our backyard (it’s the American southwest, short on water lots of areas have “desert decor” instead of a lawn) anyway a giant rat lived in the cactus, we often saw it at night it was the biggest rat we’d ever seen! but we had to take the whole thing out bc it would pick up the dog poo out of the yard before we could and the cactus was getting full of it, you could see it in it and all over the ground at the base of it. Don’t know why it wanted the poo but it sure did collect it!
Music calms and nourishes the soul Charlie Brown it can certainly lift your spirits in fact I read about a research study they did where they found that people who listened to music daily were less likely to be depressed. I’d say Schroeder is the best of the 3
All the dachshunds I’ve met, including my own, are extremely clever but can be rather naughty seemingly just for the fun of it. So i think it would be more accurate if Wally had a “good” and “naughty” Wally in his head. Perhaps Fagan didn’t want it to be like the often seen angel and demon
