Also this is the FIRST time since I was a kid that I am working without a middle man who is there to tell me what needs to be shorter/changed/removed. FIRST TIME. And I am finding it weirdly REFRESHING! But I am going to slow down now. I think I am in fact making myself insane crazy and nuts.
I’m a new subscriber and i have to say, you’re blowing me away. I laughed so hard at the “writing laying down” that my husband thought I was losing it. And dogs are just my favorite thing about being on this planet. Thank you so much!
We had cocker spaniels that didn't care. Maybe they didn't hear. But the Weimaraners!! Years and years of Weimaraner Hysteria! They'd run after deer! They'd bring home birds they caught on the fly! But no fireworks, no explosions! This is so perfect and so funny!
Thank you. I have had the occasional dog who didn't seem to care but usually the ones who are terrified teach the others to behave like that. They have no idea why they are acting afraid, they just know that they are! Doggy hypnosis.
Yes, dogs are so good at that. And nothing works! Though the Weims were in-bred hystericals.
Orangina, the younger Weimaraner, taught Elwood, the older Weim how to be a juvenile doglinquent. I had to call the police on Shelter Island to locate them after she took him off the golf course at 7 am and ran across numerous roads. Before Orangina, Elwood would spend fifteen to twenty minutes running on the golf course and then return. The highlight was police returning with two weims in the back seat of the cop car. ;-). Yes, you can use the image! It was pretty priceless! Love you, thank you for always making my day!
Charlie, my dog, would thank you but he's hiding. As I read this a huge explosion went off. It's light out still. I live in the San Fernando Valley where it's out of control.
Merrill, this is crazy! Insane! Nuts!
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND!
HOW CAN YOU SHOOT OFF ANOTHER PERFECT ROCKET OF A SUBSTACK!
NOT having a place to submit stuff turns out to be motivating! Who knew?

You are IN IT, Merrill, the whirlwind! The golden Tornado! They don't come along often in creative life----AND YOU ARE RIDING IT FOR ALL IT'S WORTH!!
Extremely motivating, Merrill!
HAAA. For who and toward what end? THESE are the QUESTIONS. And if we can't answer them, I am going to call for a strike.
Nobody has answered them in 3,000 years, Merrill!
Nothing says America like merch table.
Haa. (As we now each repair to our desks to design some merch.)
“The 4th of July is a day when explosions might not be a mass shooting!!” 😂😀🥲😢😳
Omg this is brilliant. My dog thanks you! Happy fourth!!
We are amused.

Thank YOU so much. I am so happy to hear that!
Excessive brilliance ! Thanks for this!
I love this so much.

Loved this! My dog gets a thunder shirt and hugs🐾❤️
CBD tabs work okay too.
Didn't work on the Weimaraners. They're high-strung and demand as much attention as possible.
Dogs are instinctively good motivational speakers!
I'm surprised human motivational speakers haven't caught on to the power of the tail wag
Delightful
I read this to my Goldendoodle Honey. Her first birthday is today July 4.
Thank you!

Terrific!
We knew K. had become deaf in old age when she no longer turned and headed for home if there was a whistle sound of one going up
