Thank you. But the circus has withdrawn its offer. The sideshow decided to go for an Irish Wolfhound with the heartbreak of psoriasis.
So I'm back to making contributions to the Codfish's college fund.
Incidentally, the 4'9" Peapod received her (very heavy) badge from the state Bureau of Investigation for which she works as a forensic chemist. I annoy her frequently by making her flip open her shield. There's something . . .cute . . . about 96 pounds of solid former gymnast muscle flashing a shiny gold BI shield and credentials . . . especially when you require it before you'll give her a hamburger off the grill.
It will be cute when Anoreth’s a firearms instructor, too.
