There are few things more annoying than discovering that the dog has eaten your mezuzah. Perhaps first among them is discovering that the dog has eaten your very small<\/i> mezuzah that it took you hours and hours<\/i> to write and the accompanying realisation that you will have to do it all over again<\/i>.<\/p>\n
