Oh by the way...

Dear Miracle Man,

I forgot to thank you for the helpful advice you gave me the other day when you suggested I eat my dogs, (being Chinese New Year, etc.) that way I could cut down on my grocery bills, and at the same time save on the vet bills. It does make sense. Believe me, I have thought about it long and hard, but then I did the math - a cooked chicken would cost me $7.99 and would really only properly feed four of us. Whereas if I was to sell my two chihuahuas, I could get a lot more money - thanks anyway. After your comments, I was looking at Lulu the other day, and really there isn't much meat on her - certainly not more than a quail.

Our cat Tessa is very sensitive to all the new vibes, and has been working over and above the call of duty (she's a Virgo). This morning I spotted her out in the back garden working really hard chasing birds and catching rats. She saw me looking and really upped her performance - so I think she's safe.

As for Fluffy the rabbit - She/He/It (I never worked out the gender) does absolutely nothing to help the household, and is getting as fat as a pig and the stink out of his/her/it's cage is disgusting. I remember once eating rabbit stew in Paris and it was surprisingly delicious. So I would say that Fluffy is definitely treading on dangerous ground at the moment. In fact He/She/It tried to escape about a week ago and we had to put the cage up against the wall. Maybe I should have just let it run away...Rabbit food and bedding is so expensive and Fluffy has quite the appetite. I gave it a wilting carrot (to use it up) the other day and He/She/It spit it out. I dunno - It's a sign of the times I guess!

Dear Canadian Mounty,

I promise I don't make a habit of breaking the law - as it would appear from my last blog. I am a good living citizen - I don't drink, smoke, eat chocolate and for the last few days gave up being a shopaholic. I only ever got 3 tickets - only 1 for speeding and that was the incident on 14th St. Calgary. My car is 12 years old and like myself is not up to speed these days.

Keep doing what makes you happy...


Dear Viv and Jim,

Disturbed to hear the world economy has crashed since I stopped spending. No, the Chinese PM has not been in touch with me yet.

Cheers,

Delisha
