He loves your cat… but…I was half dreaming half awake last night when I thought about incidences that should have been red flags in my past marriages, but for one reason or another didn’t pop up for me at the time. Most of the dogs and cats I’ve had over the years have wandered in and stayed, or I’ve rescued them as kittens. My thoughts ran like this. I remembered Dominic, the dog who came to live with us at Habana Road. I named him of course.
