It's sad to hear about the dog fatalities around northern beaches.

I've always been fond of northern bitches, I mean beaches. Let's hope whatever the problem is, that it is sorted soon and doesn't spread here.
That's the trouble with scavenging, or 'beachcombing” as I prefer to call it.
One should always be a little cautious when dining out. Especially in the bountiful outdoors.
My granddaddy, Gunshot of Riverbend, always said: 'Don't eat yellow snow.”
Other valuable advices for those who dine outdoors, 'beware of the killer sea slugs,” and try not to suck up sand in the process. I've never quite mastered that technique, as this snapshot from summer shows. In fact I have some major issues keeping the sand from my magnificent jowls while investigating edible options.
There's only one thing worse than sand in your snogger, and that's grit in your speedos.
Now that's a photo we don't want released on an unsuspecting world.
And speaking of disgusting photos, a Florida man, accused of downloading child pornography, blames his cat. According to the sheriff, the guy told investigators that his cat jumped on the computer keyboard while he was downloading music. He said he had left the room and found 'strange things” on his computer when he returned.
Now this does not surprise me, those cats have some pretty sick habits and are experts at framing the unsuspecting citizen. Just this week, I took the rap for a feline felony. Someone left the pantry door open and the dry cat food packet open. Of course it wouldn't have been me… but guess who copped it? You bet, the only suspect in the kitchen at the time. The cat was long gone, asleep on the couch. Smirking. Like butter wouldn't melt in his smarmy mouth.
I wouldn't be surprised if cats were responsible for the majority of unsolved crimes and mysteries of the world. The Bermuda Triangle has all the hallmarks of cat involvement. And who do you think bludgeoned the nanny to death and framed Lord Lucan? Well, it certainly wasn't the corgi. Lady Lucan had two cats. Ah ha.
I put it to Ralph: Where were you when Kennedy was assassinated? He tried to tell me he was asleep on the grassy knoll. Yeah right.
Well if you could kill for a steak or a snarler, best to see John at the Aussie Butcher. He's got some deals to make your whiskers curl.
