On a personal note…..folks I want to share something here, please forgive any intrusion.
For you all have probably read often about my friend Diane Feinstein. Of course she is not the REAL Diane Feinstein but my friend, also named Pat, like me, and looks like me.
I also look like Diane Feinstein but I am not proud of that and bear in mind Feinstein is 25 years older than me.
Feinstein lives with a man who is not her husband, I don’t know why they didn’t marry. But they’ve been together for over 20 years and they always seemed happy together. Her friend has been very sick of late and this past Saturday night he died of a stroke.
What a horrible weekend. First, Feinstein has a very sick dog, crippled on his back legs, a beautiful Alaskan Husky who knows me well because, well he thinks I might be his female owner.
Since Feinstein had to go to Philadelphia where her friend had been transported as the local yokel could not help him, I had to go to her house and watch her dog.
I was terrified. Poor thing can barely walk but he don’t want anyone touching him in his hindquarters. This dog is about 150 pounds so he’s not a puppy.
Anyway, I got through it. Feinstein was there when her friend died and she’s never have gotten someone to watch that dog. And I sing for the dog. Skye-his name-loves to sing as this breed does, so I sing to him and he knows me.
Feinstein is a beautiful singer and leads our masses, funerals and weddings. Once upon a time she sang in musicals up in Wilmington.
Anyway, dog is fine, Feinstein is home and I will help her get through it.
Very sorry for your friend.
