1 don't particularly like
"man's best Mend." I prefer
cats. A dog will lick your hand
and then wee-wee on your
favorite fence post, as its
seeming favorite way of
expressing his contempt for
you. But a cat is no hypocrite.
Ruffle her fur and she will put
the claws to you. She doesn't
lavish her affections on every
fool who feeds or pets her.
She'll let you know right away
, her love is not to be.bought.
A cat is an honest animal.
A dog will Mghten you with
his ferocious barking and
growling, and then when you
express the fear he has
created in you by breaking
and running, he wll rip out

thing as buses during our
early childhood. The walk
wasn't bad, and I guess,
actually, it was really good for
us. But there was one great
big, growling, teeth-baring
obstacle between our home
and that school house at
Prospect. It was a vicious dog
owned by the Taemus dark
family along the way. God.
how I feared and dreaded that
dog!
We couldn't sneak paat the
house - he seemed to have all

we could gain enough head

be safely out of reach. That

why. When 1 was a/child, dogs
of the neighborhood were
always having running fits.
And I equated fits with

I remember my half-brother

bedroom when I was n child.
He ww older, unafraid off

But I lay there fearful

dog fighting going on...1962 looks worse
than '81..."

ness there (Washington) now than at any
time itoce I've been there."
He talked about problems with the
Farm Bill that he Is actively involved in,
the threatened loss of many social
services programs, including Indian
Education fends and more. He laid most
of the blame at the door of the president
and "Reagonomics."
Rut k was a Hght hearted time too with
Rose receiving more praise than tough
questions.
