<< The problem, he said, was that dogs talked too
much. When one came to visit, the dogs would rush out to meet the guest,
announcing "They say you only come to visit when it is supper time!", or
"They say you always stay too long!" >>
This sounds remarkably like one of my favorite short stories "Tobermory" by
one of my favorite writers, Saki, in which an articulate ginger tomcat repeats
things he has overheard to the assembled guests of an English countryhouse
party, with dire consequences.
