   Summary

   When HJ was a little girl, he had a puppy of some kind. Clumsy fluffy thing. Whatever became of it? "They don't let you see they're getting old, they don’t want you to worry, and then one day..." He makes a krrhhrkt kind of noise, to evoke mortality in the language of this fool.

   Patty Babcock pales.

   "It can't be easy to find housing in San Diego," HJ goes on, "if you've got an incontinent dog, and I mean, the vet bills alone, right? Ha ha."
