Lily ju st needs
somebody to
love again.
I.ily is a lovable, sweet, retiring, white, speckled, like a white
lily in the held, adult medium 50 pound female mystery
American pit bull mix, about six or seven years old. Her
sweet gentle nature shines through her entire being from her
shiny eyes to the tip of her tail. She once lived with a family
whom she adored. She was surrendered to a crowded public
shelter in July with the reason: “daughter moved to Califor
nia. She was described as “too much dog” by the daughter’s
father with whom she was left behind; because all she wants
to do is sit in your lap or by your side.
Lily is not being kept in the agency general population be
cause she is shy, and stays at the back o f the kennel so no one
ever sees her. As soon as she is outside the kennel and next to
a person she blossoms.
Lily knows basic obedience commands: sit and stay; is a calm
lap dog; and with all her heart misses being somebody’s dog.
It is her whole reason for being in this world. W ithout a fam
ily she is depressed, but remains open hearted and in minutes
willing to love a new person again. She is playful, adored her
family, should be fine with another dog, but also perfectly
happy as an only dog.
Lily is a v a ila b le for fo ste r or fo ste r to ad opt.

D e a r M s . B e h a v io r :
Tom has been my best friend forever. H e’s
everything you could want in a friend: fun,
fashionable and loyal. H e’s helped me move
in with countless girlfriends, and always has
a room for me when I move back out.
Here’s the problem. Every few weeks, he
stands me up. We’ll have plans to go to the
movies or to dinner, and when I stop by to get
him, he hems and haws about some adorable
boy who’s on his way over to give him dick.
I’m glad when Tom gets some. I’m just
not thrilled about the repeat timing of the
dick du jour arriving two minutes before
we’re supposed to go out. Usually Tom is
sheepish enough to turn red, shuffle his Ni
ke s and apologize like mad. He sends me off
to the restaurant alone, promising to show
up before dessert. Usually he does. I forgive
him because he apologizes so profusely. But
then I feel upset later, and unsure of what it
means. Am I really that disposable? Is there
some hidden, underlying reason in Tom’s
psyche about disappointing me?

Tom’s preemptive apology is a strategy
designed to keep you from expressing your
anger. It’s the same reason your dog crawls
to greet you at the door after he’s dragged
. orange peels and coffee grinds (and tampons,
if you’re extra lucky) from your garbage can
for the 700th time. You may not recognize
the choreographic similarity, but Tom, like
your doggy, hopes his dance of submission
will soften your wrath.
Your inability to confront Tom prob
ably makes it easier for him to cancel plans
with you. Going back to the dog analogy,
some trainers recommend lightly tapping
a garbage-eating pup on the snout with
a newspaper. Since Tom’s snout is not, in
his case, the errant organ, perhaps you’ll
think of a suitable (of course, metaphori
cal) alternative.
who are, shall we say, phallically motivated,
have no “hidden, underlying” reasons for
the timing of their interludes. Tom has no
reason to purposely disappoint you. H e’s
just a dickhound.
Still, his behavior is juvenile and rude. If you Meryl Cohn is the author of Do W hat I Say:

and whether or not you’re lovable. Men least tell him that it hurts your feelings?
