My brother and I grew up in a home that always — and I mean ALWAYS — had a dog. We became adults (at least I did), and neither of us have ever been without a dog in our house.
Now that I’m almost retired…
Talking to my brother multiple times a day now that I’m not working 24/7 isn’t required. We still text often and most of the time it’s about… you guessed it… our dogs.
Him: You’re leaving??
Me: Want me to send my dog to cheer her up?
I think it’s interesting that he’s the dude and has foo foo dogs — and I’m the chick with labradors and a pit bull. Go figure.
Now you know: A supposed Abraham Lincoln “business card” from the 1864 election claimed that, if defeated, he would return to Illinois to perform manual labor and trade horses, but it was actually created and distributed by his political opponents as campaign propaganda.
