Last night I was looking at the website for Seattle Animal Control (I'm contemplating getting another cat) and I saw this headline: "Preparing pets for a terrorist attack." And I thought, gosh, I've got Shadow all trained to carry the missle launcher, but Lily is having a really hard time pulling the trigger without opposable thumbs. (Given what I've heard about the use of donkeys and chickens in this war, poodles could be the next big thing ...)
