Rob, this is pure delight! I laughed out loud. Wish I could’ve walked through the door that night. I don’t mind a wet dog and love homemade pasta.

Classic! Funny and so relatable (aside from the fact that I refuse to entertain because I get too "stressy"). Also: your dog is cute.

Oh dear god that is too funny! I'd consider it fiction if it didn't ring so true. I'd love to say I could have handled it as graciously and competently and cheerily as you, but none of that is true. My wife is the family saint and somehow willingly takes cares of me. I am lucky beyond belief ❤️🙏🏻😎

What a fabulous day that will be revered for the rest of your life, Rob. Like the pasta sauce, the flavor will get better with the laughter that accompanies every retelling!

Love this, Rob. Don’t know you but glad the algorithm helped me find you!

This essay is sheer perfection — and “canine crime scene” had me laughing out loud.
