The children are jtwin girls They treat the puppy as if it was a stuffed animal They "play ball" with aim actually throwing him Ifrom one to the other I saw the spoor pup land on his head last Iweek and thought his neck I aiight have been broken. I immediately rang the door- bell and told the mother the kids were abusing their pet and she should not permit it. The woman gave them a meek scolding and made them prom ise to be nicer to Bozo Yesterday the twins dressed the puppy in doll's I clothes The skirt was so tight the pup was yelping in :an. They put a hat on his head and the elastic chin j strap was choking him I went to the mother again and complained.

Please tell me what to do. Buttinsky (His Name For Me) Dear Mrs.: Report this to the SPCA before those kids kill the puppy. And I mean today. Tomorrow may be too late.

They have kept that promise, but nine times out of 10 not our son it is our daughter-in-lawho writes Can you tell me why a with a start a college graduate in English literature would to her with, Hello there" and I Am Bothered In Bye for now"? masters degree letter close with, Phoenix Dear Bothered: Probably your son's wife is avoiding the traditional salutation, "Dear ," because she knows she is not dear to you and shes letting you know the feeling is mutual.

Dont put the executive on the spot by demanding to know why you didnt get the job.
