Katya Says: All Dogs Die

And an addendum from Katya about the dog article:

Me: It's been a great telephone day :)

Katya: Yay for telephones! And writing stories about dying dogs. :(

Me: The dogs aren't dying...well, not yet.

Katya: Oh, but they could. Everything dies. :( And then it's dead. :(
(You have my permission to quote me in your article, if you like.)
(But you have to keep the emoticons. They add pathos.)

[a little while later]

Me: Well i just finished one of the articles that I was supposed to write.

Katya: Did any dogs die. :(

Me: No - this article was about someone I interviewed.

Katya: Oh, good.

Me: I haven't finished the dog articles yet.

Katya: Did the interview guy have a dog?

Me: Nope. The articles are for different things.

Katya: Are you sure the guy doesn't have a dog? A lot of people do. I'm just saying. :)
