White Dog went right for the hedgehog's nose which I had just finished repairing (with heavy-duty carpet thread). She pawed and gnashed at the new stitches.

"She tries to find the weak spot," Steve noted in his best animal documentary voice.

"You are just an animal under the surface," I told her. "You can sleep with a pillow, enjoy foreign cuisines, and even laugh at Gordon's droll stories, but you are just a growling beast looking for an advantage!"

White Dog stopped ripping long enough to look up and reply, "We all are."
