Thanks for the comments Chuck. Ummmm... Your accusation escapes me (LOL No pun intended), but honestly, I don't understand it. I wrote it that way because it was something different to me. Sorry about the Dan confusion. With only 400 words I had to cut a lot out LOL. First Dan is dead husband. DJ, now Danny, is Dan Junior. Your sumerisation Chuck, is exactly that :). Due to story length, I had to cut out that he saw his fathers' death. Hence the no speaking for two years. This is another piece that takes parts of my own history. I am happy to say though, that my dad is still alive :) Good pic Dialyn, but that is a Red Heeler. A Blue Heeler has similar fur pattern but is a greyish blue :). But both are also known as Australian Cattle Dogs.
