Fiorella's Creed

The alphorisms Fio tries to lives by:
     Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
     Actions speak louder than words
     You can catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar
     Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today
     Waste not, want not
     Always go that extra mile

     A penny saved is a penny earned

     Life is short, art is long
     The pen is mightier than the sword
     While there is life, there is hope
   

Mommy's Faux Fur

Sonia Dog here, taking over today for Mommy, who's suddenly realized she has to churn out a second chapter of Moira's story by New Year's Day.

I try to help Mommy whenever I can because I feel sorry for her--not because she's having to spend all her time with Baby, but because, like one of those hairless little Mexican dogs,  she was born without fur, which means she has to don an artificial pelt whenever she leaves the house.  The colors of her faux pelts are pretty--red and blue and toasty beige--but so fake.

I'm glad I was born with the real deal.
