Every Bitch Has Her Way

The Book

Chapter 11

Bitching Up the Wrong Tree

She is told to lower her standards.

She declines, loudly, from the base of the correct tree.

A golden retriever seated in an armchair beneath live oaks, with labradors gathered around

The bitch had options. That was not the problem.

The problem was that most were lousy.

The Wrong Tree

Every bitch has barked up the wrong tree. Usually more than once.

The tree looked promising. The tree seemed interesting.

The tree was attractive.

Then a squirrel in the tree started dropping nuts on her head.

Then she noticed worms crawling out of the bark.

Disappointment followed. Next tree.

Selection

Bitches are often told to be less selective. Less picky.

Less demanding. Less particular.
