Robert Morschel commented on Geni Stratton's blog post The Marmalade Cat"We once met a tom like that, took him home, called him Ted, and loved him until the day he moved on. Apart from eating, sleeping and beating up the neighbour's cat, he didn't do much."
Geni Stratton commented on Angela's blog post Notes on Becoming a Dog"which I sought someone to touch... great line. Isn't that what we all do, whether dog or human."
Angela commented on Geni Stratton's blog post The Marmalade Cat"I didn't know where you were going with this until the final four words. This is a touching piece."

He was just a marmalade tomcat that I first met at the animal shelter where I volunteered. He was so big he could barely turn around in the cage, so instead he lay quietly at the bottom of the cage watching the parade of people.

I came to know of his shameful arrival here left at the back-door taped shut in a box. Like many…See More
Angela commented on Geni Stratton's blog post Bacon in the Sun"This is surely terrific. The 4th was my favorite - it is so true, and funny but sad. I had no trouble imagining the "neon Georgia sun". Being a Carolinian, I know you are being kind. Watch out this weekend.…"

Geni Stratton commented on Teresa's blog post Faith, Hope & Holes"Hope being lighter than faith but of equal value....brought tears to my eyes. You have a profound understanding of the spiritual. Hope... Chester is on the mend."
Geni Stratton commented on Angela's blog post An Unexpected Response"The vivid imagery of the last paragraph made me shiver in anticipation of the threatening internal storm. Nice!"
Geni Stratton commented on Ron. Lavalette's blog post Rats and Zombies"Loved it...a inseparable pair rats and zombies. Your photos made me laugh my head off which I had to pick up and screw back on.Semi colons are wimps compared to commas. I have nighmares about commas."
Geni Stratton commented on Geni Stratton's blog post The Ice Cube Tray"No scars and no missing digits this time. Maybe next time.
Cold water does work but so does dropping the tray on the floor as long as you wash the cubes off before anyone notices. No one is the wiser.
Fridges ... with chrome accoutrements…"

Grandma Biggerstaff shouts,” Jenny Sue, I’m gonna serve the turkey soon, please toss some ice in the pitcher of sweet tea?”
Jenny Sue opens the freezer and pulls out an old school metal ice tray with a lever top.
Frantically, she tries to pull up the frozen lever, then chops at the ice with a knife and lastly drops the tray on the floor.
