Merran loved her little Shih Tzu. Throughout her life she had always had a little dog, but Lan Dong was her favourite canine of all time. Merran always stood in her kitchen to have her breakfast. It was usually just a slice of toast with butter and honey, always made meticulously after she had taken her heart pills and downed a large glass of water. If she dropped some toast crumbs on the kitchen floor, Lan Dong would instantly snaffle them up.
“You’re a regular little vacuum cleaner,” Merran would say. “Who needs a broom when Lan Dong is about?”
Anyway, on this particular day, as she was taking her medication, Merran accidently dropped her open bottle of heart pills.
I’m now dressed in black from head to toe. Like a Greek widow.

A Greek Black Widow spider, doing the syrtaki, which is tricky with all those legs.

I foresee a rip-roaring trip to the vets. Or maybe a forced dose of ipecac?

I asked because I’m reading Plato who’s making my mind sit on Pluto, and I’m wondering which side of existentialism to counter him with, the stranger or the brothers, or the age of reason, and I might just wander myself, and do the scheduling thing, because *yawn* quite frankly I’m bored, but washed, and tomorrow I’ll be neatly shaven too.
