In search of ahome

 

THREE ANIMALS IN SEARCH OF A HOME
-A 'Tail' of a Reluctant Search-

I'm moving from a house to an apart-
ment and--aside from not being allowed
--it's unfair to coop animals up ina
small space. So I have three animals
in search of a home.

"BUZZ"- "Buzz" is a two-year-old male
golden Cocker Spaniel who is full of
life and loves everyone. (He makes

a terrible watch dog.) He's also

a real con artist who will sit and
"beg" any time you're even near food.
(He taps you on the knee with his paw
if you ignore him.) His speciality--
other than racing around the yard near
supersonic speeds (hence his name) --

is the"starving dog" routine which he
goes into shortly after eating. :
Sitting by his recently-emptied bowl,
he turns his large, soft brown eyes in
your direction and makes soft whimpering
sounds, in his throat. It takes a
really "hard" heart to refuse. (You've
got to though, he'll eat your dinner as
well as his own, if you don't). His
bark is quiet and he sits patiently at
the door when it's time "to go". "Buzz"

 

will make a great companion for anyone
with a large yard.

"MINEAUX" - "Minners" is the Dowager
Queen of New Westminster (at least she
thinks so). She's a regal cross between
a Havana Brown and Siamese. A music
lover, she sits on top of the stereo
or the piano in utter contentment--
except when you play "New Wave" or hit
a wrong note. (She stalks out of the
room with a most displeased look on her
face).

"Minners" is dark brown (almost black)
with white feet which she keeps
meticulously clean. She likes dark
corners and quite often the only way
you can find her is by the white feet.

At dinner time, she sits by her bowl
and gives you a "we demand to be fed"
look. Once she decides you're worthy
of her attention, she leaps into your
lap, settles down, closes her eyes and

purrs. (There is very little sound but
the vibration is something else!) She
loves to roam, but is always back by

dinner. There will only be one
"Mineaux" and, in a way, that's un-
fortunate.

"MOUSE" - "Mouse" is an 8-month-old
Calico who enjoys conversation and

high places. She loves exploring and
bugging "Minners". She loves playing
"cat in distress" if she's locked out
(She cries with great heartwrenching
emotion until you open the door, upon
which she bounces through with a chirp
"thank you" as though nothing ever
happened). She is often found in closets
and behind doors (she loves to attack
shoe laces). She also loves sitting in
laps and 'talking' (her discussions range
from world politics to the state of the
cat food industry--a problem near and
dear to her heart).

If you have room in your heart and home
for any or all of these small, great
creatures, please call Jim Adams at
Surrey (local 225), or drop a note in
the campus mail.
