Taffy is a short story about a doggy and her human family. It is sad, happy, and poignant. It is about choices, some good, some bad, and some that are just choices not good or bad, they are what they are. Mostly it is a children's story for adults. Preface -- Who do you work for? That was the question asked of me before children and before Taffy. Every party, social event and gathering. I use to laugh and say I work for no one. When Taffy arrived I soon started to think I really worked for her. Now that she is gone I am certain of this. The reasons I will tell you inside my story. I was so clueless that Taffy was my master, no my teacher, my doggy. --
