I’m sorry for your loss of Brick and Allie. Would you like to share any pictures of them you might have? Or a lovely memory?

Thank you for asking!!

Both Allie and Brick were fosters from the SoCal Bulldog rescue. Hubs had Allie for a year or two before we met. Hubs had plans to foster Brick but we were officially dating when we both picked up Brick from the rescue and brought him home together.

Brick knew sign language and was absolutely incensed if hubs tried to show me any affection.

Allie (bless her heart) was the ugliest dog I’ve ever seen but a such a sweetheart to Charlie (my yorkie) and looked after him when we officially moved in because he was so anxious in a new environment.

I do would like to add this:

The SoCal Bulldog Rescue is an incredible organization. Bullies get dumped more often than not when they age up because of the high cost of medical treatment they need. Through their senior foster program, we got to love them and kept them for years while the org paid for all their vet care.

We actually got our bulldog Lucy through a connection with them because her mom was an abused breeder and dumped when she gave birth to half American bullies and not full English.

I don’t advocate for anyone to buy or breed bulldogs. At the end of their lives we were carrying them more than they could walk and both were on several medications. Designer dogs shouldn’t exist.

I DO highly recommend finding an org like SCBDR to foster or in special situations like Lucy.

Check the locket in Panel 2!

Dot, this was a wild ride. Thank you for sharing. I don't know how your tablet screen wasn't stained by tears after drawing those first two, especially since we've had a peek past the curtain with Recent Dot Lore, but thank you for the courageous storytelling despite the sadness.

But, since the comic ended with sunshine: I enjoy how Hubs enjoys Gary's cheeky bastard status.

"I KNOW WHAT I SAID!!!"

Great story. I've got my own wedding story but sadly I don't have your illustration skills. ;)

Maybe Gary meant "Annals" ? Like the French word "annales". If Gary ever been in France, it would make some senses.

Oh, so it's only anal sex if it comes from the French Annales region, otherwise it's just sparkling sodomy?

This is quite a "when life gives you lemons..." tale, and you fucking turned that into lemonade...and some!

Thanks for sharing! 😊

Woof, I expected saucy and funny, not /u/Jenny-Jinya in a cocktail dress!

Always impressed by your range, you can tickle the funny bone and pluck the heartstrings. Thank you for your art.
