Chapter 17 -- Milo In Dennistown

A novel

Welcome to Dennistown. If you are new here, and you didn’t get a chance to read the beginning, you can find it here in the section that will only contain the novel. I’ve tried to organize things to make them easy to find because I have enough trouble finding anything on here.

Before we get to today’s chapter… Myrtle and her 8 puppies made the transition to the backyard on Saturday. All are doing well. We were able, with the help of a neighbor to move them, and all the pups and Myrtle handled it well. I think she is glad to have the help, eight mouths is a lot to feed. We gave them some soft puppy food to augment her nursing and they devoured it all greedily. In addition, three of my oldest friends in the world merged Saturday for a nice visit and a lot of puppy holding.

It was a good day.

Myrtle was finally able to get a little bit of rest. I’ll be doing a larger update soon on the pups and our soon-to-be effort to find homes for all of them. So, if you or anyone you know, is looking for a puppy, DM me. They are the sweetest and cutest things you’ll ever see. If you don’t believe me, just ask this guy…

If you are enjoying this book, consider clicking the little heart; it’ll make my own little heart go pitter-patter. Or you can restack by hitting that two arrowed circle. Or you can comment by hitting that talk thingy bubble. Or you can send me a head of lettuce via UPS. I’m not desperate for validation, I promise. :-)

And away we go…
