Once upon a time on a warm Wednesday morning, Mother was checking things on the computer when Izzy sat right next to her, ears flat back. Then Plum sat on Mother's feet, ears flat back. In a few minutes, Stoner came into the room with little wisps of paper covering his mouth. Mother looked up and saw a steady trail of ripped tissues from the bedroom to the livingroom, then kitchen, then bathroom. Ah. Mother understood. She would NEVER blame her girls. But the boy, well, he is ALL DOG, as her grandmother would have said.
