The good news is the Angel Band played, Big Dawg Bernard came to The Middle to announce promotions and this time when the roll was called up yonder The Red Man’s name was on it. He made it to the Top and joined his running buddies Tennis Ball Obsessed Chelsea, Paw Licker Annie, Smokey Lonesome Ollie and even ran into Sassy the Old One. It was a joyous reunion – everyone was happy to see him…well, maybe not happy…more like glad he made it, if you catch my drift.
In September, 2010 Red began the rants and raves with his post I’m a Talker which produced the first two “Likes” he ever had: Wayside Artist and Terry1954. They have stayed with us for the whole ride with Red and Pretty and the Old Woman Slow and the rest of the cyberspace folks who gave us 69,666 hits in the past six years while posting 666 posts – a nice number to end with, don’t you think?
It’s very hard for me to let go of Red’s Rants and Raves but I find it difficult to “edit” for Red when he no longer dictates to me while lying next to my feet as I sit at my desk. I feel I have to let him rest in peace with his brother and sisters.
I hope all of Red’s 1,649 followers will follow me to my I’ll Call It posts (www.iwillcallit.com.) – I think many of you already have – and so the writings and photos from Casa de Canterbury will continue on my other site, hopefully with Red’s keen insights and observations serving as my muse when the days lack inspiration otherwise.
I thank all of you so very much for the “likes” and “comments” and hits through the past six years. Truly Red’s Rants and Raves changed my life.
Get me outta here, Percy – and he did.
Red’s favorite spot…in Pretty’s lap getting Pretty pets
in the beginning was The Red Man…
and the Old Woman Slow loved him

Aw!! Dear Red!! Miss Poppy Seed’s greatest mentor. The Red Man will always be held in her highest esteem. For me, Red’s greatest accomplishment was sending me two good friends, three counting Darlene. That little rascal of yours knew how to bring the best people together.
Enjoy your new heavenly digs, Red Man. You earned a pee-mail spot right by the Pearly Gates.

Miss Pops – The Red Man’s love for her created the Great Mutual Admiration Society for us all. What a wonderful legacy.
Cassie P has surely taken Miss Poppy Seed’s fondest regards with her when she saw Red at the Pearly Gates. That’s what I believe anyway. I can imagine Red would want to give her a personal tour of the premises.

I’m sure those two dogs shared a lot of “tea” at the Divine Bark Park. 😂💖
