Marcus was up early the next morning preparing to make sure everybody knew Judy was his.<br/>He had made a special collar for her. It consisted of a series of diamond shaped metal bronce pieces strung together by strands of  stainless  steel chain. The metal pieces were coated on one side to prevent any chaffing.<br/>In each of the pieces was a chip with  information on her and on him.<br/>On one of the pieces was etched "in the Care of Marcus Chickpea'.<br/>He went to her door and knocked. "Time to wake up Judy."
