Just a short something today–very short. Other things are demanding my time. Still, you may find this amusing if you, like my wife, thinks your dog licks too much. When she makes that observation to Max,

he ignores her admonition and continues. I, on the other hand, may note this variation on an old expression:

Cleanliness is next to dogliness.

Kind of goes right along with “Dog is my copilot,” seen on some car’s bumpers.
