Either way, it speaks to the animal lover in me as well as the realist.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01758927721152378470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911130560032069160.post-67636496315976941992012-06-24T20:37:21.176-04:002012-06-24T20:37:21.176-04:00I got a little choked up at that Hemingway story. ...I got a little choked up at that Hemingway story.
