comet as regards little birds. under the grand old mulberry tree some 

baby birds were learning to fly and comet was not helpful. i had to 

wrestle him out of the thinket. that's funny i was writing thicket in my 

head and it came out thinket. i was trying to mentally convey how

playing with birds may be fun for dogs it is not fun for the birds.

i don't think he got it, i do think the birds did.
