Question

19．Dear Lee，
As I told you，I'll be gone until Wednesday morning．Thank you so much for taking on my"children"while I'm away．Like real children，they can be kind of irritating sometimes，but I'm going to enjoy myself so much more knowing they're getting some kind human attention．Remember that Regina （the"queen"in Latin，and she acts like one） is teething．If you don't watch her，she'll chew anything，including her sister，the cat．There are plenty of chew toys around the house．Whenever she starts gnawing on anything illegal，just divert her with one of those．She generally settles right down to a good hour-long chew．Then you'll see her wandering around whimpering with the remains of the toy in her mouth．She gets really frustrated because what she wants is to bury the thing．She'll try to dig a hole between the cushions of the couch．Finding that unsatisfactory，she'll wander some more，discontent，until you solve her problem for her．I usually show her the laundry basket，moving a few clothes so she can bury her toy beneath them．I do sound like a parent，don't I？You have to understand，my own son is practically grown up．
Regina's food is the Puppy Chow in the utility room，where the other pet food is stored．Give her a bowl once in the morning and once in the evening．No more than that，no matter how much she begs．Beagles（猎犬） are notorious overeaters，according to her breeder，and I don't want her to lose her girlish figure．She can share Rex （the King's） water，but be sure it's changed daily．She needs to go out several times a day，especially last thing at night and first thing in the morning．Let her stay out for about ten minutes each time，so she can do all her business．She also needs a walk in the afternoon，after which it's important to romp with her for awhile in the yard．The game she loves most is fetch，but be sure to make her drop the ball．She'd rather play tug of war with it．Tell her，"Sit!"Then，when she does，say，"Drop it!"Be sure to tell her"good girl，"and then throw the ball for her．I hope you'll enjoy these sessions as much as I do．
Now，for the other two，Rex and Paws…（letter continues）
