Blue Heelers: Antisocial or An Introvert's Best Friend?
Australian cattle dogs, more commonly known as blue heelers or red heelers, represent a breed of hard-working herding dogs. Blue heelers, much like border collies and Australian shepherds, were bred to watch over cows and sheep as they grazed in the field. They're natural workers who instinctively know how to move a group of animals. In fact, that's the reason they're called heelers; blue heelers herd livestock by nipping at the ankles and heels of the animals they're in charge of watching. It's a pretty neat trick, just not when your heeler is biting at YOUR heels.

Book on the Bus
“Henry” Tuesday, 3pm Ritz Café, Booth 4 This was the first entry Tomas saw when he picked up and opened that little black notebook he found on the bus. He filtered through the book trying to find any hints as to the owner, with full intentions of giving it to them, but he continued to see this similar theme throughout. Name, day of week, time, and location repeated page after page. Tomas was curious but could not find any kind of information about the owner. Even these mysterious entries had no real information. No phone numbers or email addresses, and it didn’t even appear to have any real names. Tomas wondered whether he should just drop the notebook in a trash bin or drop it off at the library near where he found it since he felt he could be of no help. Once he arrived at his office, he became distracted and stuffed the notebook in his laptop bag and swiftly forgot about it.

Mr. Poe the Crow and Me
The Corona19 Virus story and how it is told and remembered, will be either a fable, myth or apologue. That will depend on who is telling the story. How they behaved during that event.

Dearest Doggo
I’ve always said that if I ever became a millionaire, I would cruise GoFundMe to make strangers’ dreams come true. As a person, I’ve always believed in sharing wealth and that if you shared your abundance, karma would have a way of paying you back for your good deeds. Normally, I’m far from in abundance enough to help someone, but in January of last year I wound up breaking my leg while I was walking into my office on a patch of black ice in the parking lot. My job was fantastic about it and covered the medical bills and subsequent hospital stay, and as a result, I did wind up with a settlement.
