A Dog’s Life
Whether you own a pet now or have sometime in the past, there is no doubt about the strong relationships we form with them. When we lose one to old age or some other cause, it can be deeply moving and in some cases closes our hearts to adopting another pet for a while.
Last summer I had to put down our dog of 15 years, Angus. It was harder than I believed it would be. He was a diabetic and I assumed the role of giving him shots of insulin twice a day. (Kudos: Walmart Pharmacy sells animal insulin at a greatly reduced price.) When Angus could no longer stand then my wife and I made the decision to put him down.
We then had three quiet days in our lives before we decided to adopt another dog. It was a wonderful decision for us. We grieved our old dog and but could now celebrate our new one, Burley. It was the right thing for us to do in a pandemic, when our travel is restricted, and we are like most people looking for support and companionship wherever we can find it.

Gangs of Wolves And Blue Cheese Olives
As I wait for my blue cheese olives to properly marinate at @wolfgangssteakhouse ...I notice a most wonderful reflection in my ice-cold martini.

You’re Saying It Wrong
epitaph / epithet
“A landlord used racial epithets to demean a tenant.”
Many people call epithets “epitaphs.” Maybe it’s because epithet isn’t a euphoniuos word—the epith in epithet sounds like a lisp and the tongue stumbles. (The only other common epith word in English is epithelial.) Epitaph sounds better.
Unfortunately for euphony, you can’t substitute one for the other. An epithet is a description of a person or thing using certain qualities or characteristics they possess (or you think they possess). Although epithets aren’t necessarily negative, they often are. We’re all familiar with many racial or religious ones that should die away. And speaking of dying, when someone is writing (usually on a tombstone) or saying words in memory of someone, that is an epitaph.
