[nagdu] Re The Canine Sigh

[Cathryn Bonnette]

Elizabeth,

I have read this story several times- and laugh each time- it's great! My
first externship was with the DA in Beverly Hills. I have not practiced yet
due to becoming blind and needing to take a bar exam. I have vivid mental
pictures of your account, and memories of my own variations!
If you ever want to contact me off list, please do.

You're right about those vocalizations!

I'd forgotten   about the canine moo.

"The guide dogs are lowing, the baby awakes ... "

Let me tell you about a famous Labrador yawn.

My Fiesta went to court with me every day as an Assistant Prosecuting 
Attorney in Seattle, as I neared the end of my stint as a criminal trial 
lawyer.  On one of my last days in Municipal Court, I had been trying a much

too lengthy DWI case.  The public defender had been going on ad nausium to 
discredit my blood gas chromatography evidence of intoxication, and had 
finally launched into an endless closing argument to reinforce his point. 
Suddenly, though discreetly lying under my counsel table, Fiesta opened her 
mouth as wide as she could and let loose with a long, loud yawn.  The 
courtroom exploded into raucous laughter.  The PD jumped up and shouted, "I 
object, I object!"  The judged banged his gavel and growled, "On what 
ground, Counselor?"  When it was my turn for rebuttal, I approached the 
jury, without Fiesta as usual, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you've heard

the evidence and the Court's instructions.  Now render a just verdict." 
Then I sat down.  Fifteen minutes after being excused, the jury came back 
and found the defendant guilty.  There was no appeal.

Elizabeth
