Creature Corner: Oct. 18, 2018
Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats and dog Tex longed for homes of their own.

Panther: Hey, everyone, no adoption news but I do want to introduce a new ARF canine!
Tex: I won’t be the only dog?
Panther: Well, Tex, even though you’d rather be the only dog in your forever home, it’s OK that ARF welcomes Giorgio. Oh! Here he is now!
Giorgio: Hello! You know my name, so let me tell you a little about myself. I am a terrier of some sort. Ha! I am about 6 years old and house-trained, and I like cats and other dogs. Oh, and I love every human I meet. I’m only 11 pounds, so I will fit on just about any lap. I’ve been told I am super, super cute.

Tinkerbell: Wow. I have competition for the cutest critter at ARF!
Mr. Gray: ARF now has a dog for an active family (that would be you, Tex) and a dog for someone’s lap.
Tinkerbell: And a kitten to play with!
Mr. Gray: Not to mention adult cats that will offer comfort to humans who might want or need some company.

Pepper: You know, not all of us want to be on a human’s lap, but Panther does!
Zeus: I know that Mr. Gray enjoys jumping onto a lap.
Panther: But I bet any one of us cats will be happy on a lap once we know the human.
Tinkerbell: Laps are OK, I guess, but I’d rather play.
Giorgio: I’m close to the size of you cats, except for Panther. You are a big boy!

Bear: And Giorgio, you are a cute little boy.
Tex: I’m a cute not-as-little girl!
Pepper: I guess it’s safe to say we are all very cute!
