Dogs in the News

I peeked over Mother's shoulder while she was reading her email. Of course, she doesn't know that I read. Cats are smarter than people think! Anyway, back to the Big News: dogs are becoming the new generation of "kids" for a lot of Americans. According to the news article (a book review), in San Francisco, there are more pet dogs than children. Really, what is wrong with people -- that statement should read: there are more cats who have people than children. But that's the kind of "news" item one would expect to find in a newsletter called "The Woof Report." Check it out yourself.
