Because if you can't text a person's phone number, what on EARTH else would you do with it??
(Okay, I'm projecting: I loathe a phone call.)
I have no idea if any of my Shepherdstown folks here remember the use of the word "crucial" in town in the early aughts, but I remember so many things being "croosh" back then. Maybe you can't make "fetch" happen, but "croosh" sure did.
(Attention: Cat. <3)
Personally I admire Nicole's dedication to Stromboli's new name.
OH! PS! Chapter 9 is up on the ET website! It's the one where Kris's dreams get kinda saucy.

2022-08-13 09:47:18 +0000 UTCI don't think they'd even need to shave them, just get someone to hold the claws out of the way and look through the fur. :-)

2022-08-10 20:38:28 +0000 UTCI like this but I kinda object to Nicole trying to name the cat that seems to have adopted someone else…

2022-08-10 19:21:30 +0000 UTCOh, so they only have to shave the cat/dog (like they would for surgery) but then don't have to actually guess if it's a battle scar or an incision scar because there's a tattoo there? That's smart, I've never heard of that! I'm one of the lucky 10,000 today!

2022-08-10 15:36:54 +0000 UTCCan totally relate to the *meh* goodbye to the human, but all the love to the cat!
2022-08-08 21:46:39 +0000 UTCTrap, Neuter, Return. It's the most humane and effective way to deal with feral cat populations

2022-08-08 20:36:20 +0000 UTCOof. Nicole is a *handful*. Wayyyy too much energy for me to hang out with! :D

2022-08-08 19:25:11 +0000 UTCNo cell phone here either. Not enough social cues in texts for me to figure out what a person actually means. Don't mind a call but it has best be important!

2022-08-08 18:41:47 +0000 UTCThe sideways face and heart eyes make her look demented, which is... really on point for that character, in a lot of ways! - - Neal

2022-08-08 16:15:14 +0000 UTCI think some places are moving to the green line tattoo on the belly. I know it's standard for pets/adoption candidates...

2022-08-08 16:14:39 +0000 UTCOh I love Miranda ❤️

2022-08-08 15:05:01 +0000 UTCI looooove the dynamic between the two!!

2022-08-08 14:51:44 +0000 UTCI'm with Nicole here, encountering a twentysomething without a cell phone would be like finding a unicorn.
Dean Reilly
2022-08-08 08:47:13 +0000 UTCWell... Stromboli doesn't have an ear tipped, so she hasn't been TNR'd.
Joanna
2022-08-08 08:15:24 +0000 UTCAnd here we see the UPside of having a Nicole in your life.
