   Hi, Janis...   
      
   JK>>> Welcome to all and feel free to post your loves, your hates, your problem   
   JK>>> your joys  regarding your cats, your dogs and just about any pets (well,    
   JK>>> we can exclude pet rocks? )   
      
   JK>> Oh, my own pet rock. I will call him George, and hug him, and squeeze   
   JK>> him, and pet him...    
      
   JK>haha.. :)  Exactly the right wording for that from what I remember :)   
      
     Well, there are 2 reasons for that.   
      
     First, I saw a drama group perform "Of Mice And Men", by John   
   Steinbeck, at the University Of Miami, in Coral Gables, Florida, 45   
   years ago, at a theatre arts festival. In the scene near the end, where   
   Lenny is "shot" in the back of the head by the other character (I forget   
   his name), the acting was so good that it stunned the entire theatre.   
      
     Second, several of the Looney Tunes (Warner Brothers) and some of the   
   Tex Avery cartoons had "Lenny" (I think he was the mentally challenged   
   character) as part of skits. One of the Looney Tunes had it with "The   
   Abominable Snowman" with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. The Tex Avery one   
   had a deal with "Screwy Squirrel" (a new little friend). :P   
      
   JK>Meanwhile, my daughter and her boys now own a dog. She's a really cute dog..   
   JK>not a full-bred - she's all white with slight splotches of light color here    
   JK>there.. and goblin ears (her terms haha).  She's suspected to be part Whippe   
   JK>such a good natured girl :)   
      
     Whippets are also known as "minature greyhounds". They are hard to   
   housebreak and are high strung (just like dachshunds). Unlike the   
   dachshund, the whippet seldom barks. But, both make excellent watchdogs,   
   and are very loyal to their owners.   
      
     We had a male that we gave to greyhound breeders in Harrison in   
   northwest Arkansas several years ago. They had brought a bitch down, so   
   they could get acquainted. Well, the dog we had, named Bullet, tried to   
   make love to this bitch, and she told him (in so many words) that she   
   wasn't interested in his advances.  But, he seemed so sexually   
   frustrated that "he wanted to whip-it out". :P
