i said i was spoiled by mister, and i was ever so grateful for him today, but i wasn't spoiled by him, that's one of the phrases that emits from the past like a mind ghost, and when i hear it i say, no, i wasn't spoiled by mister, i was blessed. we blessed each other. and we worked for our blessings. i could not have imagined a better dog. i'm thankful for jeremiah, and barb, and david, for this wonderful growing thing.
