That's the big question.< P> Polo wishes they had never left the comfort of their velveteen basket back at the Neals', especially when he learns that he and Marco must venture over to the city dump, hangout of the dreaded Steak Knife and his Over-the-Hill Gang. < I> The Healing of Texas Jake< /I> is Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's charming, funny sequel to her best-seller, < I> The Grand Escape.< /I> < P>
