WHAT KIND OF A DOG?
Oh, That Kind of Dog

What kind of a dog sleeps until nearly two in the afternoon?

Oh, right. This kind of dog:


Mildred

[Post-publication addendum (June 3): Mildred, who, for the uninitiated, is known officially as Chadwin VII’s Mildred Pierce, is going for some kind of record. As I write this at 4:05 p.m. on Thursday, Mildred is still sleeping, snoring, and stretching.]

[Post-publication addendum (June 3): And the record continues, if it hasn’t already been broken. It’s now 8:00 p.m., and while Mildred is awake, she has yet to head downstairs.]

[Post-publication addendum (June 4): By the way, in the event you do not subscribe to the Fans of Mildred newsletter, allow me to inform you that my little girl will turn seven on June 14.]
