This is a true story about the recent misadventures of Wendy, a liquor-store dog. "Liquor-store dog" is not an AKC recognized breed; Wendy hangs out all day at Hayden's, my neighborhood liquor store. She belongs to Tom, the store manager.
(Actually, no one would mistake Wendy for a purebred. She is comically two-toned, with a completely black-velvet snoot and a completely blond body, as though a black dog had been held by the nose, Achilles'-heel style, and dipped into a vat of peroxide.)
Wendy's best dog buddy is Ophelia, who lives nearby. My theory is that Wendy likes hanging around Ophelia for the benefit of physical comparison — the way Lucy Ricardo liked hanging around Ethel Mertz, if you get my drift. Ophelia appears to be a cross between a hyena and a wildebeest.

Ah the price of fame.
They remind me of an ex who got three pound cats in NYC (where else) . One became ill, and her vet relieved her of $5,000 - and one cat died.
Thomas, one of the remaining two cats was noted for marking her furniture, and both hawked hairballs copiously. The hairball problem was made most apparent by the fact that her apartment was decorated in a high key style, white furniture and white carpets.
Brilliance and advanced degrees seem not to immunize people against silly acts when pets are involved.
