Deb Caletti
Here, kitty, kitty, Chico says. The cover of his cage is still on, making his tiny clown voice slightly muffled. I feel bad for him under there, just waiting to start his evil little day...Freud walks toward Chico in his slinky fashion, sits under his cage and just stares. We have satanic pets...our pets seem to have made a pact with the devil.

The scariest part of forever is that nothing is.
Deb Caletti
Just because it turned out bad, doesn’t mean it wasn’t meant.
Deb Caletti
Love can come when you're already who you are, when you're filled with you. Not when you look to someone else to fill the empty space.
Deb Caletti
Sometimes you're sure dogs have some secret, superior intelligence, and other times you know they're only their simple, goofy selves.
