Yup, that dirty word again. That I even thought of digging out one of my novels and posting this is a mystery to me. I wanted (Harley's story) to help profile Lillian's needs and how friends, and the people she works with, perceive her. That she needs Spirit, both the dog and the word, is what I hoped the lead would show. <br />Your kind words regarding expanding it have my mind tripping all over itself, again. <br />BTW it's no go on the other project but we have a back and forth going on which I think is good. Moving on and not giving up. <br />God I wish this this book, had worked out , it's great story, or so I've been told. Oh well.

Carolynn, if you added a bit more to the end of this, you should submit it somewhere as an essay. Maybe something about why Lillian Dennison needed Spirit, and maybe a few antics post adoption just to show how he changes her, etc. It's so COMPELLING, and is about life, hope and love. <br /><br />Not that you don't have enough going on. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904356705735120070.post-80792369138535520182014-11-21T12:34:49.571-05:002014-11-21T12:34:49.571-05:00Thanks Donna.

She couldn't keep him and gave him to a young couple who lived with the wife's parents. The wife became pregnant, the house was small and Harley had to be kept in the basement all day and walked on a leash at night because the neighborhood was small. <br />Shortly after we had our sweet Brandy, an awesome dog, put to sleep, old age, it was her time, a friend showed us a picture of Harley and he told us his story. <br />No way did I want that young lanky pup, (he was almost a year old at that point), because he looked exactly like Brandy. It was just too soon. I thought I'd look at him and see only her. We went to 'just visit' him and when he bounded around the house he jumped right into our van. Of course I knew he'd be coming home with us. The young, soon-to-be father climbed in our van, hugged Harley and bawled. He said Harley was the best dog ever. And you know what, he still is.<br />Carolynnwith2Nshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394998702410764388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904356705735120070.post-72871736850563442072014-11-21T11:49:59.663-05:002014-11-21T11:49:59.663-05:00I was actually getting a terrible sinking feeling ...I was actually getting a terrible sinking feeling as I read this (no pun intended, believe me). I didn't know if I could finish! Thank GOD you intervened. My temper and my absolute ridiculously sensitive nature over anyone being cruel towards any animal would have had me in deep trouble. I think I would have shoved their heads underwater to show them how it felt. Nothing, but nothing makes me more angry than cruelty.<br /><br />Great story!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904356705735120070.post-76646289805506936132014-11-20T19:15:29.368-05:002014-11-20T19:15:29.368-05:00Harley is on the awesome side, too.

He is the best dog ever. <br />Every once in a while I wonder about the two boys who tried to kill him. They'd be adults now. I don't know if I should be afraid for, or of them.
