\u201cWhy mint a ‘trillion dollar’ coin? Wouldn’t a custom ‘trillion dollar’ poker chip do just as well? Or why not just float a ‘trillion dollar’ hot check post-dated a trillion years from now? Why complicate\u00a0fraud?\u201d<\/p><\/div>On Cleo’s first birthday, she ate a lizard.<\/p>\n

The first time I took her for a walk, when she was but barely weaned, she ate a bug. I regarded that as a salutary accomplishment for a young apex predator, but the lizard was a quantum beyond mere bugs: She saw it, captured it, conquered it and devoured it \u2013 very slowly.<\/p>\n

My joke now, about food she likes, is that it’s made out of genuine lizard \u2013 worth the chewing. Everyone else Miss Chioux knows thinks that a girl dog is a girl, where I know all dogs are dogs. I can make them squeal simply by saying, “Remember: Nothing builds bones like bones.”<\/p>\n

But there was (is?) a rabbit trapped in the back yard. Cleo scared it up and the race was on. The bunny was fast, but Miss Chioux is, too. He managed to find a place to hide, but Cleo could not forget him. I took her inside, hoping the rabbit would find a chance to escape. No joy. When we went back out, she scared him up again. One, two, three times around the yard and she had him, pinned to the ground with a mouth full of fur. I pulled her off by her harness or that bunny would have been dinner \u2013 to a roly-poly little bloody-faced girl.<\/p>\n

I took her back in to what will be my office, but she was crazed, yipping and barking, Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
