Daphne and Azrial are clearly wise, wise beyond their very wise human companion. Good luck Ben. May the raod lead you and yours in a good direction.

Neil, thanks you. It’s lovely to have R&G described as sunshine. Rocky is pleased too.

Michael,

Ben and Daphne the black pekingese and Azrial the black warrior cat also send you the gypsy incantation, May the Road rise beneath your feet.

Fare well.

Thanks Michael. I for one was often touched by your writing and I thank you for the sunshine. I feel sorry for poor souls like Frank; their glass is not half empty, it’s empty.
I remember similar negative and sometimes quite appalling stuff being written on Mr Bolt’s blog when Terry Lane retired. It was very sad. Some people are just miserable bastards.
Thanks again, and give Rocky’s tummy a big scratch from my family in HK.

Good luck to you Frank. There’s no point in engaging with you. I have wasted enough time on you already. Please don’t respond anymore. This exchange is finished.

Michael: Not being a masochist, I never read more than the two pieces I originally commented on. What’s “going on”, as you put it, is criticism. It’s just that maudlin self-indulgence grates. Nothing personal. I know no one at Crikey and I’ll make sure it stays that way. Only way to maintain independence.

Alan Attwood’s “Age” review of your book is charitable (you can imagine what I think of these musings appearing as a book), except for the end when he says “Non-dog people may find parts of it twee or repetitive or plain silly.” Exactly.

I think Possum sums up my thought exactly, best wishes on the new “path”.

As a lurking fan of one mans convo with his mutt, I for one shall miss your word sculpture – there is just something about the way you put words on a page.
