Pride & Prejudice & Dog Baths
“Guess I’ll be needing another bath, eh?”
Number two of my homages to Jane Austen and my quest to have certain incomparable truths become universally acknowledged:
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that right after one has bathed one’s filthy dog, one’s dog will commence to roll ’round and ’round in the dirt and grass until said dog has become even filthier than before said bath.
“IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” (Pride & Prejudice)
Gentle reader: nothing would give me, your humble servant, greater pleasure than reading your own truths in the comment area that follows.
~Thanks!

I like your idea here but I’m zonked so will pass tonight. Maybe next time.
I hear that!
It is a truth universally accepted that an ill intentioned cat will find the newest article of navy blue clothing in the house, and possessed of said pants as a pillow shall enjoy delicious yet finite repose, having said slumber terminated by screams of human angst…and it is going to be a dark and stormy night somewhere, too.
But didn’t you know that cat hair is the new black?
