[his hand pauses behind Toto's ear. It's odd, but Blaine has no memory of actually owning a dog or, if he did, what happened to it. Yet he did get the sense that he owned one and something bad happened to it. And even more than that, he gets the sense that Dorothy is the first person to express any sort of sympathy for that loss]
Thank you.
