In the essay, Alvarez notes that her mother thought that the pronunciation of her name didnt matter, and quotes her as saying: "You know what your friend Shakespeare said, 'A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.'" Do you agree with Alvarez's mother? Why or why not?

it is very normal for dogs to do such things as ripping stuffing out of their beds, toys, pillows, couches. really anything. i had three dogs who thought they would love to chew up their bed, after a few days or so it came out in their waste. the coloration is differnt of their waste, but they are fine, still eat, play, drink, normal. its nothing to worry about.

- hope this !
