Time-sensitive SOS re talking dogs...

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

Pugnax never speaks, he's more of a "pointer" [ha, ha, ha. . . .]

Anyway, the quote :

                       Every dog has his day,
                            and a good dog
                            just might have two days.
                         ---Johnny Copland

that opens Vineland should serve quite well.
