“Appropriately last on the liability list is the legion of so-called animal lovers who really just love the sound of their own voice proclaiming that nothing justifies bite training. They're as wrong as they are out of touch, of course, but they get plenty of air time nonetheless.”
Joel M. McMains, Manstopper!: Training a Canine Guardian

Tara Conklin
“It struck Linda suddenly that this was the middle of the night. Even here, in the city that never slept, most people now were sleeping. Law firm time was like casino time, only instead of an endless cocktail hour it was always a neon-bright afternoon. The dead center of the workday, all night long.”
Tara Conklin, The House Girl
