First a thank you for the free read of Laurie.
Second-- sincere sympathy for the loss for Vixen.
Really enjoyed the story. Had me on edge on my seat during one part ( never can trust Sai King
)
Completely captured the feel of that part of FL.
Think every emotion can be felt within this story!

What a nice surprise in what has been a pretty crappy day work wise!
It appeared to be a sweet little pet-adoption story, then Boom!
Such an evident love for our four-legged friends. Sorry for the loss of Vixen!

Of course, I knew something was coming but didn't expect the gator! Thankful that our hero and his faithful sidekick, Laurie, were ok!

Yes, thank you. I liked this story and how it illustrates the impact a pet (a dog, especially) can make on one's life, regardless of age. In the same way people can reach out to comfort someone, dogs, too, can help alleviate a person's grief and become close companions. The descriptions of Florida made me a little homesick. There are several quotable lines, too. I liked the line about
a person's skin being "thinner at 2AM". Lloyd didn't like to look at his deceased wife's photos that early, to be specific. Great line. Oh, and alligators are a very real threat down there so I had no problem believing the events toward the end.
Absolutely. I thought he did, too.
I loved that line too. And it is very true.
2 a.m. anxiety looks a lot different at 5 a.m.
That was quick...a story about Yanny and Laurel already?
Good story. Very sorry about your dog. Thanks for the free read sir.
Looking forward to reading the story. Is this posted anywhere else for a freebie, or just us?
Just us, right?

A free story for coming here? Can free beer be far behind?
My bedtime read for tonight. Can't wait.

Call me sentimental but my eyes stung a bit with tears near the end - that was a lovely story - thank you Mr. King 
...I ran through this in one fell swoop....damn!....I'm always amazed everytime I read his work, that he can slam the door on the word car and mash the pedal to 70 in no time....Jeezus Pleezus what a gift....and sympathy for Vixen.....
Haven't read it yet. It says that it's available for download to print out or for reading. Where can I download it? When I click on the link it takes me right to the story with no option to download and print. I would rather have an actual paper copy in my hands as I don't really like reading stories or novels on my computer. Call me old fashioned....
When I clicked on the link it automatically downloaded to my device. It's still there. Have you tried left clicking on the mouse (if you're on a computer)?
My computer has some symbols in the upper rt corner-- downward arrow and printer. Arrow is download
Mine has three dots on the far right and clicking on it gives me a drop down menu with the print option listed there. Of course I'm out of black ink anyway so there ya go!
...I did catch an error in the visit to the doctor....damn my eyes!.....
