Furry Friday: Not For Sale

Three Great Danes behind a gate, one with a stuffed duck in his mouth. Sign says, Dogs Not For Sale

Don’t miss the sign in the upper right-hand corner. The pups were very good while we traveled and held an estate sale to empty my father’s house.

I try very hard to resist getting them any more stuffies, but I saw the two goats at the thrift store, for the outrageous price of $2 each.

This week went well. I’m traveling again, so I made an effort to do some substantial writing over the weekend before I left. Where I felt like Act One needed all the main characters fleshed out more, Act Two is more about storytelling transitions.
