Mrs. Bear & Bear have a few animals......
MONICA is our five-year-old Golden Retriever. She weighs-in at over 100# and actually looks like a Bear. Goldens are great animals. MONICA is scared of her own shadow. Named, much to Mrs. Bear's dismay, after a certain woman of same name who happened to spend some time in the "Oval" office.
MURRAY is our nine-year-old Alaskan Huskie. MURRAY is a "she", named after the dog from a TV series, "Mad About You".
ALLIE is our alley-cat, constantly in and out of the house. A true cat....always killing birds and baby rabbits and moles, etc. (That's what cats do.)
SOCKS (aka BUBBA) is our black and white tubby cat. He is a bit overweight and usually sits up like a person, back against a wall or door, legs spread....like some sort of mini Sumo-wrestler. He goes out....usually for about five (5) minutes.....and immediately wants back in.
O.J. (aka TAZZ) is our furry monster cat. He was named for a certain famous sports person who was on trial for murder and got off scott-free. Hmmmmmm.....
O.J. doesn't usually go outside. He was a bit heavy. In mid-January, with the temperature in NW Ohio around 10-degrees, he went out. We looked for him for two (2) weeks. We thought somebody in the area let him in, to be "their new cat".
Couple weeks ago, with the weather breaking, Mrs. Bear and her son were outside cleaning the dog yard. They heard this faint "meow" from the garage next door.
O.J., now very-very skinny, was in that garage for nearly six (6) weeks, probably living on the occasional mouse. He's now back in our house, eating well, and following me everywhere.
WHITE THING is our one-year-old persian kitty. He continually runs through the house at full speed....chasing some imaginary ghost. He sleeps on Mrs. Bear's head.
Question: Does a teenage stepson count as an animal?
