    I am trying to figure out how she swapped "part of" that necklace for the dog. I am surprised Ms. Salem didn't ask, "What part and how were you able to get the part back intact again. Where is it?" Oh, and the relationship between the "owner" and the man must be the stuff of an absurdist play. So many questions. On the other hand, I like the necklace. Not $3000-$5000 worth of like, but I like it.
