Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports the following on behalf of the keeper and Phyllis: Cough, cough, cough. COUGH, COUGH, COUGH. Cough, cough, cough. And finally, cough, cough and cough.
Phyllis pauses her coughing long enough to produce a continuing line of home remedies which the keeper much appreciates, but then they both go on: Cough, cough, cough. COUGH, COUGH, COUGH.
Yesterday they checked in with medical people and were told, “Yep, you have a cough.”
COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!
