Whenever Lynne’s dog Paco is at The Compound, his favorite thing in the world is being held by Tom. I always say he’s trying–futilely–to take our late dachshund Pete’s place. I’m not sure how often Pete’s paws actually touched the ground the first couple of years of his life. Tom was always holding him, unless Pete was walking Tom on a leash. Nobody had any doubt that Tom was Pete’s favorite, or that Pete was the boss.
