Last night, talking to Malasada, I referred to a book page being dog-eared. She promptly took umbrage.

“Not all dog ears are shaped that way!”

I tender a public apology to all of the pointy-eared, floppy-eared, and cropped-eared dogs of the world (or, in doggy language, I crouch, lower my head, lift one forepaw, and whimper.)
