of all the things I own, My dog ate the dog training book, "How to be your Dog's Best Friend."

Hecate was a shepherd-terrier cross who died 17 years ago. Unfortunately I have no pictures of her to share, and still miss her. But I have a shelf full of library books I was forced to buy because she ate the corners off, and a chewed up harp tuning wrench, full of teeth marks to remember her by.
