Lessons in Assertiveness

Rockin' & Rollin'
Dear Dr. Sparky,
I'm not your usual canine. I'm a rocker. We all know that one of the most efficient ways to keep our teeth clean and healthy is to chew on bones. However, my master refuses to invest in bones so I use what is available --- rocks! It's not as bad as it sounds. Instead of playing with bones, I find rocks in the street and carry or push them home. Then I chew on them. As a result, my teeth are quite pointed, and my friends call me Cave Dog.
Rocking in Rochester
Dear Rocking,
Necessity is the mother of invention, and bad breath can destroy your love life. Better to have pointed teeth than halitosis! Besides, pushing rocks is great exercise! Just don't swallow when you chew. That could be bad for your digestion.
Sparky
