Cezanne Clair is the sort of Poodle who is all curls and clever ideas held in place by an almost convincing schedule. Pups near the cracked freeway loop say Cezanne Clair once stayed up all night arguing with a bent spoon argued to be a tiny shovel, and won. The Yard has a small unspoken rule about teasing Cezanne Clair near the leaning tree, mostly because nobody wants to lose. Cezanne Clair is sure the pups who keep showing up are the ones who eventually find the truth.
