The inside/ outside use of the break here is definitely a nod to one of Kelly’s haiku -

It’s one of my favorites by Kelly!

Ah, shucks. Thanks, Alison.
I don’t know what else to say other than get that dog to the vet and get her fixed! Despite my lifelong love affair with dogs, I’ve never had a dog in heat. My current shelter dogs were fixed before I was even allowed to bring them home.

Thank you Johanna!
Kelly and Mary, I made the appt. today. She needs to finish her period before the operation but it will be in July! Happy and yet nervous to send my little doggy to the operating table…
