I’m going to be away from the computer for a while. I have to bring Cosmo to the stoney lonesome for a two-week bit in the Big House (the Goldbergs are leaving town again, this time to stay with family in the Pacific Northwest and then Alaska). I hate, hate, hate bring Cosmo to the kennel for the simple reason that he hates going there and always acts as if he’s a dead-dog walking. At least he gets to stay with his cousin Buckley. I’ve never managed to keep from getting choked up when they turn and beg to come back out to the car with me.
