sensible dog

No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.
– Christopher Morley

There isn’t much opportunity for conversation some days when I am performing engineering tests in a restricted area.  And after a number if months in that job, I am usually unaware that I talk to myself – out loud – from time to time.

This is a time when I would like to have my dog.  At home, my wife whose role has her talking with students, administrators and faculty all day, can be silent as I ramble on.  When she sleeps and I remain awake, Dexter and Comet hang onto my every word.  Of course, this is normally when they receive a treat. And then they too go to sleep.
