It wasn't unusual for them to assess taxes

It wasn't unusual for them to assess taxes for not being a cat. It was a felinoid town after all. The outskirts always smelled like Tuna and regurgitated hair balls. Tabby guards

brooded on their cat scratching posts, but refused to obey orders about confronting visitors. So the dogs had more or less free run of the place. Overturned litter and peed on

the remote control which shorted it out. The channel was stuck on the Dog Whisperer. It was a weekend marathon. Rex sat down in front of the tube and listened. He was learning

just as he did on the Discovery Channel, only it's usually more about the mating calls of parakeets in the jungle than how to discipline a chocolate Labrador when it's just broken

out of its cage and it's running around the house with a shred of sticky cellophane making its way through its rectum. In order to catch the dog, the trick is to get a very large

, very angry cat to chase it back in it's cage. Then you can rest easy and just wait for nature to take it's course. Once the package is retrieved I do recommend that you

keep it to yourself. If anybody else knew about the package, they wouldn't

be able to resist the urge to flee the city and set up communes in Utah. Then who would work the city transit?

Especially now that she was in prison for 6 months. It was unfathomable that the ENTIRE transit system had failed in her absence. But that seemed to be how the frog people wanted

to live. They wanted nothing more than to live a life in silence and immobility. Confined to their lilypads for all eternity.
