My husband walked into the room 20 minutes ago and told me he'd reached the conclusion that I'd been leading him toward, that it was time to let your 17-year-old mini-dachshund go.

It's weird when people who can't stop obsessing about genitals accusingly ask about the contents of my hard drive for the crime of being a good human, when the answer is 8,000 pictures of my pets, not a euphemism. Happy Pride!

Ingrid was not a lesbian. She was often accused of being one, however, because she was my friend, and there are some misconceptions about how it spreads.

Only one evening is … I lay four years on a mountaintop, till the shape of my and my dog’s bodies had worn themselves into the mountain itself. If we went back there, we would still see the little double hollow, like two commas bent together in a circle.

When a woman is assaulted, one of the first questions people ask is, Did you say no? This question assumes that the answer was always yes, and that it is her job to revoke the agreement. To defuse the bomb she was given.

Gossip says she hanged herself from the turret on the tower, but when you have a house like Hill House with a tower and a turret, gossip would hardly allow you to hang yourself anywhere else.

“People are willing to accept the pain and suffering of others, limitless amounts of it, as long as it helps them to keep on believing in whatever it is that they want to believe. Love, meaning, doesn’t matter.”

Each word is a file cabinet in our brain. Periodically, someone's file clerk realizes that we can file more accurately with a new drawer, and that we will then understand that content better. Other file clerks in other brains concur. Everything in that drawer existed, just filed elsewhere.

I'm aware human children & pets aren't the same, but when someone sent me a private message on my FB business page with my dog's picture attached and asking "is this still available?" in the moments it took me to realize they clicked on the wrong image I almost passed out. What?!? No!!!Security!!!
