P'aww'lease

'I never thought I would be one of those people,' thought Simmy. What kind of people is that, you may ask.
'The kind that buys stuff for pets,' I whisper very quietly.
Now, Simmy had been stuffing the stocking that she had tied to the fence for the neighbors' children... for twelve days of Christmas now and the ideas were getting harder and harder to come up with. http://romancedesigner.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-on-fence.html
The next twelve days of Christmas were going to be a bit more of a challenge. So, De- Lilah got a stocking. Oy!
Delilah had been lovelorn (miserable because of unrequited love), when the neighbors had rescued her from a impoverished life.

Those days were over and she was very much, now, living the other meaning of her name which is 'languishing.'
So yes, I have done the unthinkable and given a stocking to a dog but I'll bet the neighbors think it's cute!
