Wonderful, sweet, lovely chapter, Chris! Sorry it took me so long to leave feedback.

Clark's so sweet! And he really isn't a phony
“Lois! I happen to like a woman with curves on her,” he said matter-of-factly. “You’re going to have to start accepting compliments from me. I’m not a phony; I only say things when I really mean it. I’m not Claude, okay?”

Well said!
Being overweight sometimes was a fate worse than death.
~~
Also well said!
When she was able to see the world from above, she was able to realize the big picture – the people that ostracized her, either to her face or behind her back – were no better than her. They were just passengers on planet earth, like she was. And she could make a difference in the world just as well as anyone else!
~~
Awww.....
<He’s just as lonely inside as I am,> Lois realized.
~~
More awwww.....
“When I told you that every part of me knows the difference between you and the other Lois, I was dead serious. I feel this sense of familiarity with you that I never felt with her.
~~
I love how you make little references to Smallville.

I'm not sure the humane society would think it's okay to leave a dog alone. Some of 'em get pretty darn upset when a dog is left mostly outside, let alone left by itself. We've got a county in our area pushing for legislation that would make illegal for a dog to be outside for more than two hours.
We can get a dog, if we come out here a couple of times per week. We’ll – or actually you’ll - put a doggie door in the back of the house, leave him lots of fresh water and dry food, and he’ll have the whole farm to run around in.”
~~
Amen to this.
‘Beware of people that don’t like animals, Lois – there’s got to be something wrong with them inside if they can’t warm up to an innocent animal’.
~~
Ahh... Just like Shelby. I was almost hoping there was some way this was *Clark's* Shelby. I was hoping maybe HG Wells had rescued him.
The dog in the yard was a golden retriever.
~~
Ahhh, we do love our LatRab...er RabLat... oh, yeah, LabRat, don't we.... (I believe Ann explained my 'little' joke.)
That was fun! C’mon, LabRat,”
~~
Well, ummm.... some Superman canon actually says that he does, but I don't know that that was ever mentioned in LnC
“I have excellent night vision, but it’s not exactly infra-red,”
~~
Ahhh.... So sweet!
“You know what, Clark? Is it possible for you to sleep in the same bed with me and not – you know – do anything? I don’t know that I want to sleep alone here.”
“Is cuddling allowed?” Clark joked. “If it is, you’ve got a deal.”
“Deal,” Lois replied, grinning.
~~
Ann, I have the best of both worlds...
Even so... yes, I, too, would sometimes like to go where civilisation just peters out. Especially at night, so I would be able to admire the fantastic starry skies far away from the city lights.
I can walk outside my door and look at the wonderful, starry sky. I can drive ten minutes and be in a city of 50,000 people. (I guess most people would still think that's small. Those silly people on Smallville seem to think so, but that's not really what I call a small town - a small city, maybe, but not a small town.)

Well, it's good for everybody to have a dog. It has been proved that dog owners live longer than others
When my dad died, if it hadn't been for a beloved Keeshond, Smoke (now dead, too), I believe my mom would have also died. (A Keeshond is rare breed of dog for those of you who don't know.)
After my dad died, my mom was so lonely (and she's older, too) that we moved back in together. We now have what I teasingly call the 'evil poodle', and two cats. I'm thinking of getting another cat, because one is very solitary, and the other very much wants the solitary one to play. When I get another one, I know what the name will be: Meowoof.
I hate to be dumb, but I'll ask. What's MMM mean?
