NEWS FLASH!!!

O'Neal is proving to be as sweet as he looks... he's warming up a bit to me and Tracy, showing a bit more animation. I occasionally try to get him interested in a toy, but he seems really unsure what to do. At one point, it looked like he was going to grab it with his mouth, but he turned it into a yawn at the last moment.

Greyhound in da house...

My co-worker and her husband stopped by a bit ago to drop off their lovely Greyhound, O'Neal. He's a bit timid and shy, but a real sweety. He came complete with detailed feeding instructions, a list of do's and don'ts, food, treats, a muzzle, and a few toys. His mom said he doesn't play with toys... I wish Suzy was around to teach him the joys of destroying a squeaker. Maybe I can teach him... I've got until Sunday evening to do it...

Service sure is slow around here...

I've been sitting at this table for over 20 minutes, and no one has been by to see if I wanted coffee or anything.

Ways you can tell it's HOT in Folsom...

A Monkey Talks Back...

I received a phone call from an irate reader earlier today... didn't understand much of what they were saying... something about bananas and poo, I think.

Reasons NOT to get a monkey...

If you've been thinking about getting a monkey (or perhaps an ape), you might just want to rethink that decision. I know it sounds like a lot of fun at first, but there are some serious down-sides to consider:

• They throw poo
  
• They'll mock you by brachiating around the house
  
• They pack heat...
