@1funnyfarmAdams @PitheadChapel Thank you so much, Tracie! A doggie funeral would have been too much for me to handle, too - I teach my students an essay called "Funeral for a Hamster," and even the death of a hamster is too much for me emotionally!

@MBarrettWriter @PitheadChapel Oh Matt, this piece has a heart of its own. I was swallowing a lump in my throat by the end, and was so grateful you didn’t make me deal with a doggie funeral. I was rubbing my dogs’ ears as I read and remembering those bassinet days. Congratulations! 🎉

My story in @PitheadChapel took me years to write, despite knowing I wanted to write it just after my first child was born. It was hard to pay tribute to a dog I loved so much until I turned him into fiction, and I hope I did him justice: pitheadchapel.com/explaining-to-…

What do you do when you forget to put money under your six-year-old's pillow after he loses a tooth?
Kind of feel badly throwing the Tooth Fairy under the bus.

Thrilled to have a story in @GhostParachute! The first draft was about 500 words - but when I cut it in half, that's when I found the magic.

Just sent out a submission after reading it 1,000 times, only to realize I'd misspelled the main character's name in the very first paragraph.

Grateful to @cutleafjournal for publishing my essay, "The Reunion" today! It was inspired by walks with my son on the Gettysburg battlefield and the impossible task of teaching a 5 year old about good and bad. cutleafjournal.com/content/the-re…
