What Pop truly enjoyed, it seemed, was the occasional introduction of a dog or a cat. (He couldn't know it, of course, that I was mortally afraid of dogs or that I loathed cats.) But I could make a dog talk. And it was doggy talk, no mistake about it. My true reason for inserting these creatures of a lower order was to show contempt for certain characters in the book who had gotten out of hand. A dog, properly inspired, can make an ass of a queen. Besides, if I whished to ridicule a current idea which was anathema to me all I had to was to impersonate a mutt, lift my hind leg and piss on it.

Recently, I caught me several times browsing Real Blogs, that is, Movable Type powered cat photo collections. Jack is just too cute.
