and you, brutus. here i give a nod to brutus, and a wink. i've never touched the boy, as he will bite me i'm told. i respect that, and we like each other with that qualification, and i see how cute he is, with his hat, and his teeth... and he loves mister, though he butts him with his butt, and nudges seth's attention jealously. i who touch every dog i possibly can found it hard to keep my hands off and out of reach. but brutus may be mellowing. he shows no animosity and has no qualms about my camera. if i never do get to touch the boy, my camera did.
