In the three and a half years since I've been doing this, no dogs have been stolen.

There are worse things than having behaved foolishly in public.

than not being able to sleep for thinking about them.
It is 5 a.m. All the worse things come stalking in
and stand icily about the bed looking worse and worse and worse.
