Dog Eat Doug by Brian Anderson for November 21, 2020

You did want Sophie asked and she left…she’s happy and you are that she is gone.

Raven 2: “And, by ‘grow a spine’, I mean ‘You have a beak, pecker.’”

That’s good quothing.

Ravens are MUCH bigger. That looks like a standard issue crow.

Actually, that was pretty cool.

Yeah, I imagine getting asked to say all the time must get real old fast for the ravens.

I wonder how much of the actual poem it stems from Sophie even knows…

in elementary school we had to memorize a poem and recite it in front of the class, I learned a different poem but after hearing so many kids recite the Raven I had learned it also and recited it for extra credit!

Sophie has perfected the art of pestering

So Sophie knows Poe.

As the late, great Sean Connery learned; “Never say Never”

I see lots of crows, but few Ravens lately. I take my Lab Carmy to this field near Bellingham Bay. An old Cottonwood tree stands next to the field. There are at least 50 crows that sit in it’s branches and raise a racket as Carmy retrieves her tennis ball. Definitely a murder

“Nevermore” does imply the last time.

Elenore forever more dead to me. She never caws.

Brian! Loved this so much… didn’t see it coming! So good!
