What I did on my summer vacation

Even during summer vacation? No dogs, ever?

Let's face it: I'm always on vacation. But then again, a dog's work just looks like people's play. It's exhausting to be attuned constantly to scents, sights, sounds, dropped food, etc., etc., etc.

A few headlines, then, sparing most of the boring details.

MYSTERIOUS BODY PART FOUND IN WELLESLEY COLLEGE MARSH
Later identified as dessicated bunny head. Tasted as rotten as it looked.

ANCIENT DOG FOOD UNEARTHED DURING HOME RENOVATIONS
