I grew up in a home where we had dogs all my life. When I was 13 or so we got Thunder, he was half Black Lab and half German Shepard. Just the best dog a boy could have. I can remember sledding with friends one winters day when a pack of four dogs ventured towards us growling and snapping. Thunder tore into those dogs before we knew what was happening. He singled out the biggest dog and soon had him turning tail...with the rest shortly following. Yet when we had friends over to visit with toddlers, he'd lay on the floor and let them crawl over him... Having a dog as a young boy, the responsibility of caring for him is/was some of the fondest memories of my childhood.

Yikes...not necessarily opposed to a May-September romance but Granger is in his mid-thirties....correct???

Ya just had to go there...can we at least have copper jacketed silver hollow point ammo???

Should have finished Pops off when he had the chance...Kyle...what douche...

This chapter was spot on, it was very rewarding to see Cory's work and efforts with the team rewarded!!! I had to chuckle at the antics of Beth and Roger, I suspect, given time and puberty, the two of them becoming boy and girl friends... I am truly enjoying this and thanks!!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, this one most certainly does!!!

Yes indeed...a warm treat for a cold New England snowy morning to say the least...I'm suspicious of Caroline...it almost seems to become an integral part of Granger's life and business once again...hope I am wrong...Clearly the bloom of her rose is fading, that has to terrify her.... He was more than willing to try to have a cordial relationship with her, but that did not include a reconciliation. He had not minded her infidelity, but he had been seriously vexed at her lack of discretion. He was unwilling to risk his standing in society, and that of his children, by remaining tied to her. “I am unclear as to what you are proposing.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “It took time for me to work off my anger, something that I have obviously not completely done,” she said with a smile. “We have made a good team in the past. We have, at a core level, very similar outlooks on the world. Other than our personal grievances, there is no reason for us to be at odds.” My fingers are crossed, who knows what damage she could inflict if her 'position' in society were reestablished.... Will George be able to secure Calvert's parole??? And...what is up with St Vincent and the Admiralty??? I once had a history teacher who said, nothing was worse for peace, but peace....

The issue here, and let's face it, is that Chris is hiding/not disclosing/burying an issue that could be massively destructive to the relationship he is trying to build. The potential for catastrophic destruction only increases the longer it simmers on in the background...Andre has laid his skeletons out in the sunshine of truth; it is past time for Chris to 'man'up!!! He's laying a foundation of quicksand....

Something in the following simply doesn't add up... “Your son is the worst thing that ever happened to me.” I said, looking her straight in the eye. “You can both pretend like you know me, but you really don’t. Sure, I loved him, I won’t deny it anymore. I’m tired of keeping a secret that was so obvious that even Liam wasn’t surprised. But I’m so sick of trying to convince people that three years of daily beating and two hospitalizations aren’t enough to kill that love. It’s enough. It’s gone, I ripped it out root and stem. There’s nothing left, trust me.” “Bullshit.” mom spat out in defiance. “Go feed that crap to someone who didn’t raise you.” I dropped my head on my hands and desperately tried to stop tears. “He’s changed.” Emma whispered. “Don’t even try this, Emma.” mom spoke coldly. Then there is the question at the end about Jake's parents...how does their business intersect with Uncle Hank's???

Somehow, I think/feel we will see Apollo again, interesting he didn't check the sidewalk outside the adult bookstore...and just how did his father know where Carey lives?

Russ truly is lonely and seeing how Brian, Toby, and Gordon bond as a family, has him wanting what his wealth simply can't buy...Yet Russ is smart enough to realize and understand when he is going a tad overboard, for him anyways, and back off... I agree Jason is an idiot and hopefully we've seen the last of him... Can't wait to see how the pictures are, excuse the bad pun, hung and the reactions....

Is it proper to think that was a triple dog dare???

Aren't they a distant relation to a jackalope???

For whom does it end badly??? Kyle is still a wild card....

Here's hoping Pop's just bit off more than he can chew...the wild card is Kyle...

I'm giving Mike props in this chapter for manning up...Now...time to deal with Pops and the other A-Holes...and time to get caught up on the chapters...

This chapter went quite a ways to explaining the hesitancy we were witnessing, yet it still leaves two important issues to be resolved. Andre needs some time with a professional therapist, if only to cement he isn't/wasn't at fault for what happened. He was taken advantage of and as noted, so were others!!! This really needs to be reported to the relevant authorities... The other issue that needs addressing sooner rather than later is Chris needs to come equally clean about his past, no matter how upsetting or painful it may be, it is not something to overlook or put on a shelf for a later date...as noted below... The call finished and Andre looked at me. It wasn’t a glance it was a look. “That call just then. Two years ago, I wouldn’t have believed that I would have a conversation like that with Beau and Skye. So much has changed since they met you. Someday I hope I find out how you did it.” Despite my belief in being honest with Andre, I was hoping that would be a discussion that could wait for the distant future. The immediate future was calling my parents.

A 30 ought 6 with copper jacketed silver hollow point bullets just may do the trick here... “Grey, after you left… things deteriorated within hours. They became so uncontrollably vicious. On our run last night, they mauled a group of hikers. For fun. They just ripped them apart and howled in joy,” he said, his head still facing the floor. Are Clara and Beatrice sisters??? Members of the same coven??? Tribe???Fairy circle???Circle jerk ooops wrong sex.... I turned around towards Dave and Clara and asked them, “Is it ok if he sits with us?” Clara smiled. “I haven’t been this entertained in years. Of course, it is, sweetie. Besides, you have no idea what I’m capable of if any of you decide to go feral and slice up something I own, or someone I love,” she said. Having said the following... hooking people and cliffhangering them just enough Like too many cooks in the kitchen, overuse of cliffhangers kills what could be a great story...just saying...

Thank goodness that Dylan made the choice to seek out help. Life hasn't been easy, in fact it's been pretty craptastic...and his call serves as a reminder to us all, there ain't no shame in seeking help, professional or otherwise!!!

Just loved this chapter, thank goodness Jubal has a bit of cash left over so the next time he's in town he can buy some larger" pants!!!! What a sweet and delightful chapter this was...Just loved the following!!!! “Maybe so,” he answered with a grin. “But for truth, I’m talking about my heart this time, not my cock. Don’t want to sound like one of them men what get weepy about things when they’re full of drink, but I be right full of feelings.” “Sound any way you want to. Vincent taught me a long time ago a man should say what stirs his heart and never be sorry for it. Believe he was right, and I won’t let nothing stop me from saying what you make me feel.”

You just made my head explode....

Thank god baseball bats are non-discriminatory and can be used not only at parties, but in any location Jessica...

As long as we aren't caught up in 40 chapters of Groundhog Day scenario😄

Another time in stasis is coming up, one wonders for how long?

Early days for Mike, if I had to guess/bet...there's a storm that's gonna start brewing shortly, testing everyone...
