 Somebody emailed me this a while back, just for laughs. |

The race is on: Georgia and I had a little computer glitch this afternoon, in the form of a four-legged animal. It might have been a tree squirrel, or prairie dog, or ground hog, I couldn't tell. It ran in the house and hid under the computer among all the wires. The big front teeth on this beast indicated that any further work at the computer (in bare feet) was out of the question. Our housecats, Taco and Homeless, were hopeless. Taco ran for the great outdoors. Homeless pretended that this was not his problem. We finally built an enclosed race track out of cardboard leading to the nearest door, and when things got quiet our visitor left on his own accord (we think). But who knows, he may have run behind the file cabinet and electrocuted himself. Editor's note: I received this email second-hand from Bill Hoffmann, an architect in Taos, NM. Only an architect would think of building a race track to get rid of whatever this thing was. |

 Speaking of pets: there's nothing cuter than these little babes. Our niece and nephew's horse family continues to grow. |

Chet sent me The Pet Fish Story: A man was stopped by a game warden in Northern Michigan recently leaving a popular fishing lake with two buckets of fish. The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish"? The man replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These are my pet fish." "Pet fish?!" the warden replied. "Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I take 'em home." "That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works." The game warden was curious now. So he said, "O.K. I've GOT to see this!." The man poured the fish in to the lake and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, "Well." "Well, What?" the man responded. "When are you going to call them back?" The game warden prompted. "Call who back?" The man asked. "The FISH." "What fish?" the man asked. |

 Friend and Clever reader sent me this awfully cute photo of her daughter's dog, Honey, as a puppy. That was about a year ago. Hmm. |
|
 A reader sent me this shot she took in Rome of a stray cat grooming herself after hours aboard a very substantial looking motor scooter. |
|
 And Finally: you might have seen this one. It's captioned "Caught!" It was floating around the email circles for awhile. |
