True story:
This past summer, my older dog had a condition requiring her to have ointment smeared on her tummy and consequently to wear an Elizabethan collar. She was not overly fond of the device. One morning, after she didn’t put up much of a fuss about the collar, I told her she was the sweetest dog in the whole wide world. Panic! Younger dog listening!!! What to do??? Thinking quickly for once in my life, I told younger dog that older dog was nine, she was only four, and older dog had had five more years to absorb sweetness.
