We spent years without a working doorbell and we didn’t notice because we had a Basset Hound mix which is the equivalent of a VERY loud doorbell. Did figure it out until Basset got very old and deaf.

I'm a Wheaton College (IL) grad who remembers Marabel Morgan's "Total Woman" in 1975 which advised women to greet their husbands at the door, wearing only Saran Wrap. She said this got husbands to buy new kitchen appliances for wives. 🤪

My last three dogs are the three spirits I want me to visit during the holidays. Fortunately, St. Bernard mix is seven years old and still with us!!! I feel so blessed by the great dogs I’ve had in my life.
