Shouldn’t that be scrota, dearie?
a bit late to be commenting on the whole hullaballoo but i was offended by this book in a way that i didn’t hear anybody else bring up. the fact that the author refers to the dog’s scrotum means that the dog was not fixed. what irresponsible pet ownership! seriously!

Well, keep in mind what passes for a liberry in the Deep South: A coupla worn and dog-eared copies of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, a subscription to Guns & Ammo magazine, and every single version of the King James bible ever issued. It’s not that they were offended; they couldn’t find the shelfspace.
