In honor of Labor Day, a day in which women labor to give birth and workers  labor to pay bills, I’m reposting a revised version of We’re a Nation of Mutts (2010) to remind us that in spite of our differences, we’re all the same.

While taking my poor convalescing mutt, Jenny, for a walk on the front lawn, I got heel dragged across the snow, despite the surgical collar she wore. Think Queen Elizabeth. See the resemblance? Jenny dragged me until I slipped, releasing the retractable lead that used my face to stop the backward slide. After stars stopped… Continue reading →
