34、noticed my dog dragging something under the fence Upon inspection, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door neighbor s 10 - year - old daughter s rabbit For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard I knew that

35、day would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it back in its cage h

42、the wifes right to receive a tenth of all her husbands property.
