The Canine Corner...by Missy MacTavish

This week I decided to begin a new service to my Grove readers called "Ask the Dog." Many of you have questions so I will attempt to answer them here.
Q: Why did OU not play in the Cotton Bowl where they could have earned lots more money?
A: This was due to a Zebra running on the field during a previous game and screwing up the final score which caused OU to lose.

Q: We went out to eat at a local restaurant New Year's Eve and they served soup without any spoons. Why?
A: Didn't you get your straw?

Q: Why is GRDA going to lower Grand Lake in February?
A: They want to do a massive cleanup of the shoreline, removing all of the huge old dead trees which have been floating around for 60 years and in some cases are used as houses. To make sure the lake does not rise they are going to do it in the middle of the second worst draught in Oklahoma history.

Q: Why are the cable TV companies in Grove so behind the times?
A: No one watches TV in Grove. Everyone is out burning leaves.

Q: I am confused over Part D of Medicare; which program should I enroll in?
A: None of them. Stop taking drugs and you will save a lot of money and probably feel better.

Q: Why do they call this area Green Country when it is Brown?
A: It used to be Green but then it quit raining. They are thinking about changing the name of the state to Arizona. But I think that name is already taken.

Q: What does it mean when people say "they"?
A. It means anyone other than yourself that is invisible.
If you have questions for Ask the Dog, please email them to groveobserver@yahoo.com.
Until next time...Miss Missy.
