they would If they could" Marks de-
clared. MY own dog, a collie-he's
10 years old and his name is Foxy
always creeps up and whines when
he does anything wrong. He's telling
me about it. Foxy is a big fellow,
bat acts like guilty child sometimes.
We understand each other, although
we don't talk the same language"
Foxy understands his master very
well. The dog has a pail of water in
the kitchen Of the home at 600 Emer-

between a big drink" and a 'little
drink" when Marks specifies how many
