It dawned on me this evening where the reference "dog world" came from - from Susan (WYSIWYG). She had dog confinement and training issues going on at the house they lived in when Hardy was still pastor in the last church they were part of. Susan, if you drop in or are reading along, I hope you're well and get to interact with dogs on occasion. They can be such good and dedicated company. (Pepper, wearing her cone and her t-shirt, is asleep on the dog mat behind me in my office at the moment, happy to have been the only canine recipient of some small potato chip crumbs after a snack of mine.)

Susan, you have an over-size personality and sometimes rolled over the top of everyone, but I do miss your participation. And the work you put into trying to reclaim your health. I hope you're still working as hard now as you did when you were outfitting a van for travels and working on getting a good set of gear for going to the pool at the Y. Maybe you'll join us in the 2023 declutter thread, once I think of some clever (or at least, clear) name for it?
