Anyway, we use these old shows as models for what a traditional family should be. One of the things we learned was that the dog should bring you the paper, so we've been training Rosie to do just that.
It was tough at first--we read the NY Times because we liked their pre-war coverage, and that's a heavy paper for a puppy to fetch--but, she eventually got the hang of it and became a darn good delivery dog.
That is, until this morning. Every time she puts her mouth on the Times, she pukes and loses all bladder and bowel control. And it wasn't just a one time thing. She tried to fetch it five times with the same results. It's like the Times has become a festering wad of unpalatable putridity.
