I dropped Buffy out the windowit was thirteen floors.
So, you call that walking the dog? Charlene said.
Well, what do you suggest?
Torture comes to mind.
But see, it wasnt. Sure, some dogs might have a heart attack, but not Buffy. She kicks and kicks and she barks
her head off all the way down, yapping and snapping at the air...to land soft as a daisy. Shes just a little thing, no harm done, and the doorman lets her on the elevator and pushes the button. In no time at all shes scratching at my door and I let her in. Thirty minutes later, shes yapping at the window again, so out she goes.
Im knitting her a cape, I said.
Charlene just looked at me.
Flying dogs should have capes, dont you think?
I dont understand why shes not dead.
Well, thats the invention. See, she chews on this bit that Ive covered with the last piece of the carpet that used to be in the dining room, and the bit converts her chewing motion to rotary motion, which runs this little pump which fills up this air bag.
Ah, so thats the rubber thing she has around her middlebut what if she doesnt chew?
I didnt answer her, I just looked awayto hide my expression when I thought of that happy day when Buffy didnt chew.

Good to see Charlene's visiting regularly, by the way. |

Remind me to steer clear of the streets below pluter's apartment. |

[psst! I think you mean "Flying dogs should capeR"] |

Why would your dog need a special device to fly, with all those vampires it eats? |

Birdie, birdie, in the sky... |

Very nice. Just yesterday I saw Hitchcock's "Rear Window". In it there is a woman that has a little pulley system, a basket on a rope, and a little dog that climbs in the basket. She lowers the dog down, it does it's business, then hops in the basket for it's ride up. No doggie airbag though. |
