Dear OneMoreTime,

Darn! By explaining that landlords can be required to allow you to keep a dog in your apartment if prescribed by your shrink, you have removed the hook upon which I intended to hang my paen to my dog, Norm.

He's no, "Lassie". If someone ran to him an exclaimed, "Norm! Timmie's in the well!", his only interest would be in whether or not Timmie had treats in his pocket when he went in.

But he relies on me absolutely to keep things right. I think that it is his confident snoozing that is his most appealing characteristic. Moreover, you know about bassets' eyes.
