Bonjour, mes amis. Fidette the adorable poodle here. I heard my owner ask a friend why women live longer than men. Naturalment I did not hear the reply, since the conversation occurred on that electronic device my owner speaks with and listens to. A phone she calls it. But little Fidette has something to say on this topic! Unscientific? Mais oui. Unprovable? Certainement. Yet interesting, in a doggie sort of way, n'est-ce pas??

When their hearts are breaking, women go ahead and cry. They don't feel compelled to hold back the tears.

Women have close friends they can share anything with--joy, sorrow, and the priceless gift of time together.

Women appreciate cute shoes. My owner bought some she couldn't afford, and she never regretted it.

Merci beaucoup for your attention to today's lesson from Fidette. Don't forget to read "A Hero's Homecoming" available at http://www.prismbookgroup.com/AHerosH... or from Amazon.com, where the world's most beautiful gorgeous romantic golden retriever makes an appearance.

What? You dare to call Fidette a groupie? May the fire hydrants of your life all be miles apart!

Arf, Arf and away for today.
