Never knew about Miss Ellie but found the photo very sweet for the top half, and unbearably painful for the lower half. Now, I'm not a dog-lover either, but imagine a child with a label round its neck like that ...

Will go to almost any lengths not to do it, including the old turning-away-from-the-scene (or screen) trick. 'Tear-inducing' is a definite no-no on the channel-select front here. :)<br /><br />[Although, just in case you think I'm a total cold-fish, when we went to see Titanic at the cinema, I sat for the whole three hours scoffing over the mawkish Kate+Leonardo story, only to accidentally burst into tears when we were walking back to the car because I couldn't stop thinking about all the people who'd died on the real ship. <br /><br />I also have to avoid the 'Daddy, my Daddy' scene in the Railway Children movie at all costs, which guarantees eye-seepage, if not full-on sobfesting...]<br /><br />xKirstyhttp://kirstyneale.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-55106441878181693222010-06-13T21:39:34.556+01:002010-06-13T21:39:34.556+01:00Well, call me heartless and insensitive if you wan...Well, call me heartless and insensitive if you want, but this post didn't make me cry... it made me laugh! I just loved your description of yourself as having a "personal lachrymosity scale" and "prone to hyperbole"! And the denials of being a drama queen or unstable! <br />Yes, I think you are sensitive and there is nothing wrong with it either. I am too, though I did laugh at this post... Several times a week, I will find my eyes filling as I read, see or hear something that touches a sensitive spot in my psyche. <br />And, like you, I'm rather proud of it! <br />Rah rah for the Sensitive Souls! <br /><br />(Mind you, I do agree that you should review your practise of measuring your appreciation of your friends' work in tear-drops!)Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.com
