clean.
> Sadly, Rudy lost control and began tearing at Christopher's penis and
> testicles. Rudy refused to obey commands and a panicked Emily threw a
> Half-gallon bottle of perfume at the dog. The bottle broke, covering

tearing away

take

> Emily fell twice, injuring her wrists and ankle. Christopher's penis

content,

to

Mr.
