Monty by Jim Meddick for June 24, 2013
Transcript:
Ok, champ... This is your year! You're gonna do it! No one can stop you! You trained all winter... You're at the top of your game! You're invincible champ! Invincible! Now get out there and catch a squirrel! Don't worry... He's too uncoordinated to actually catch a squirrel... But as a pet owner, it's my obligation to bolster his self-esteem.

More likely is he’ll catch feline distemper

He’s weak and clumsy, but he’s crafty.

Squirrel? He’s going next door to eat at the neighbors.

I do this all the time with my dog. She never catches anything, then I call her worthless in a happy voice. She doesn’t know the difference, but she’s happy. Built up the drama, then told her how great of a hunter she is, then she chased squirrels, bunnies, birds, lizards…. AND got called worthless in a happy voice, life is good for dogs. (and she got to take along nap afterward)

I think Monty underestimates The Champ! Fleshy is invincible! Go, Fleshy, go! The Rodent Revolution must be stopped, and Fleshy is our Very Best!

Can’t be, Nightie; he found the acorn to be rather unsavory tasting… (see Chalkie j, above).
