The Canine Corner...by Missy MacTavish

I am sure glad I live in Grove, Ok. and not in New York City.
The television is showing pictures of a giant monkey that is loose and climbing skyscrapers in New York City, batting away airplanes and helicopters and saying sweet things to the young New York lovelies.
We won't have that happen here in Grove, Ok. because we don't have any tall buildings. The giant monkey wouldn't look good on the local water tower. Come to think of it, we don't have many young lovelies here either. I think they all leave when they get out of high school.
The other reason I would not live in New York City is that they are now having everybody walk to work across a big bridge. The local train drivers have gone on strike for better benefits. By the time these people get to work, it is time to start back home again.
We don't have to worry here in Grove, Ok; we have no trains.
I am all for better benefits though, including more treats, naps, softer bed, long walks, and playtime. I won't go on strike, although I guess I could hold a sit-down strike which wouldn't be too difficult.
Now, for the good news: The days are getting longer now as Dec. 21 was the shortest day of the year. Can't wait for Spring.
Until next time…Miss Missy MacTavish.
