@1funnyfarmAdams@PitheadChapel Thank you so much, Tracie! A doggie funeral would have been too much for me to handle, too - I teach my students an essay called "Funeral for a Hamster," and even the death of a hamster is too much for me emotionally!
My story in @PitheadChapel took me years to write, despite knowing I wanted to write it just after my first child was born. It was hard to pay tribute to a dog I loved so much until I turned him into fiction, and I hope I did him justice: https://t.co/9VdsM4BC8V

What do you do when you forget to put money under your six-year-old's pillow after he loses a tooth?
Kind of feel badly throwing the Tooth Fairy under the bus.
Dog in the sun reading my latest story in The Sun Magazine. Deeply grateful to the editors for including another story of mine in one of the greatest publications on earth ❤️❤️ https://t.co/fsYCr3GomY
Grateful to @cutleafjournal for publishing my essay, "The Reunion" today! It was inspired by walks with my son on the Gettysburg battlefield and the impossible task of teaching a 5 year old about good and bad. https://t.co/9jwu8gGuA7
So happy to come across & read this story @MBarrettWriter in @TheSunMagazine
Just the kind of story that delights me--clean, heartwarming, beautifully told! Highly recommend!
Congratulations again, Matt! Look forward to reading more from you!
