From kindergarten ~1954…I’m a little teapot short and stout….here is my handle, here is my spout. First you hear me whistle then I shout, tip me over and pour me out.
Wait a second! I can understand Elvis covering On The Scene as well as At The Desk. I figure Lupin is aiding Goldie in solving the crime. But… WHERE IS PUCK?!?! He should be reporting… not solving! Or… is he… the culprit???
Why is Elvis so out of breath? Cats can jump around a lot. Could it be that he’s gained weight? He looks a little porky in the last scene. (Of course, old age can make you wheeze if one exert one’s self too much.)
Sultan has had his neutering op and came through like a champ! He did get a bit nauseous when he woke from the anesthesia, poor baby. He just had his dinner, and chowed down! Vet said he may be a bit loopy for a day or two as they gave him a painkiller injection. I’m so proud of him, when we picked him up, he was mudging us through the gate of his carrier :) He is such a remarkably laid back cat!
All the critters now have new collars as well :) They have their names and Jason’s phone number on them. Sultan has forest green, Jelly has pink, Tyke (Mum’s dog) has blue, and Sheba has purple, or will when Jason gets it on her.. LOL! She’s being a bit hissy for some reason, maybe Sultan has a different smell or something.
National Black Cat Appreciation Day — We appreciate them, but an unfortunate number of people do not. I’ve only had one black cat, named Zulu, because we thought he would grow into a fierce black warrior. Alas, ’twas not to be: Zulump, the Meatloaf. Nevertheless, Black Cats Matter.
Cupcake Day (Australia) —I mention this because of Robin, and because it’s a day when cupcakes are baked and sold, the profits going to the Australian branch of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. I assume that also includes thesauruses (thesauri? thesaurii?) who at least deserve cupcakes.
Baby Boomers Recognition Day —What most younger generations don’t get about Baby Boomers is that we grew up in the shadow of immanent extinction from Nuclear War. Children you don’t know what fear is. Keep that in mind next time you’re tempted to say something really obnoxious, like “Okay, Boomer.”
National Thrift Shop Day —Be afraid. Be very afraid. These are dangerous places, almost as dangerous as used book stores … It seems funny, but I know people who have gotten into serious financial difficulty because they couldn’t resist the good deals on wonderful stuff. Like I said, almost as dangerous as used book stores. Que Robin, with a megaphone!
Finally, it’s Balloon Airmail Day —We have a solution to the mail-in ballot problem … … Good grief! Thinking like that could get me into Congress — EEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!
Poor Elvis, having to dash between locations. I am sure he hopes that the mystery is solved soon. Otherwise, he might need a health check up, and that means the V.. E.. T.. and nobody wants that. I mean nobody.

Elvis, you work so hard to cover all the story. Your viewers appreciate you (even if your co-hosts don’t always)!

Somebody’s got to hold down the fort and Elvis is The Guy! Even thought he is a little breathless from the effort.

It looks like it’s time for the substitute anchorcat / lead reporter to get some of his 16 hours of napping done for the day.

I can think of younger days when sitting on the shelf
Was everything an owl could want to do
I could always hold a bouquet, but I was never told about the hard parquet
And how can you mend your broken art?
How can you keep a vase from falling down?
How can you stop the fun from ending?
What makes me feel so round?
How can you mend this broken owl?
How can a perp atone for this sin?
Please help me mend my broken parts and let me sit again

Why is Elvis having a problem breathing? Allergic? Gasping, panting, and wheezing – not good. Now I’m worried.
