\u201cIf bunnies aren\u2019t meant to be chased, why are they so good at running\u00a0away?\u201d<\/p><\/div>Miss Cleopatra Chioux, the French Bulldog I have been socializing since Thanksgiving, is with us all weekend \u2013 a huge treat for me. What’s more, there will be a new Willie story for Father’s Day, and she’s in it. Under her own name, too.<\/p>\n

I love this dog and she loves me, and that’s the first thing that’s first, but I love to study her, too, and I have had time with her like with no other dog. She has disabused me of any number of academic claims about animal behavior, while teaching me a great deal about the mammal-brain origins of thinking-brain obsessions. Expect to see more of her in Willie stories, because she’s funny.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, she both commands attention and rewards it, as do I with her, so I’m off to play with my little buddy.<\/p>\n
