Checking in

/ J. F. Riordan

You should have received a different kind of email from me this morning. If you did not it’s because the site is verifying the emails on my list to ensure that they’re legit, and not some AI Nigerian hoping to procreate in our computers.

Feel free to let me know here whether you got it, but in any case, fear not, all the rough places will soon be plain.

  1. I’m whispering because I don’t want to wake up Sleeping Beauty, but everything is in perfect order. A successful launch. 👏👏👏

    • Did you just sign up here? Anyone who subscribed in the last three days won’t have been transferred. If that’s not your situation, let’s be patient and see how the day goes.

  9. This is the only email that I received. For some reason, it’s not giving me the option to log in, as it usually does.

  16. I received the Substack email and was able to read & like. I’m already a Substack subscriber to other content, that may have made verification of my email easier.

  41. Hi, I am so excited to get to know you more and your work. I ordered Reflections and it arrived this morning. Have been reading your blogs for a few weeks now and enjoy them so much. I have followed your husband on MSNBC for yrs and are a subscriber to his podcast. What really sealed the deal was Eli and Auggie. I am 71 (hard to face) and I’ve had German shepherd’s all my life. I unfortunately have lost 3 to hemangiosarcoma over the yrs. The last one this past November, it has been devastating, it was the first time I didn’t have a second one to comfort me from his loss. He was a fierce protector of me, we each would have taken a bullet for the other. I’m sure I will get another as I live alone for one, and they are just such a great breed. Just wish they could be free of that terrible type cancer. I refer to it as the silent cancer. Your blogs fit in to my peaceful lifestyle as I have worked all my life in the great church of the outdoors, on a farm with horses. If I didn’t love the shepherd so fiercely, I would say the pain was too great to do this one more time but, I know me, so when the time is right I will do this again. Thank you for your time and ear. God Bless Eli and Auggie and of course you and Charlie. Best, Kathy Miller PS Both of your shepherds are gorgeous

    • I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I am like you: I don’t think I will ever be without a German Shepherd, no matter how many times they crush my heart into tiny pieces. I always think we honor all our lost dogs when we bring home another one to love. Take care. I’m glad you’re here.
