Hypnotia, our cat, had trained us well.  Her lamp-like stare could arrest us in our tracks.  We’d play the piano for her any time she needed to yowl.

Then, Mesmer, our dog arrived.  He was three months old when we brought him home, milky-sweet and eiderdown-soft.  And though he disgusted Hypnotia by peedling everywhere, she was fascinated by his alarmingly excessive canine charm.  They became inseparable friends, and often sang together, not heeding our strenous objections.

We laid down the law:  No more singing.

We lost that battle:  They left us.  We heard that they were last seen in Bremen.
