Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
My granddog, Puplet, has another question:
It always pissed me off that nobody believed me to be a true Chihuahua, despite my certification papers. Three years ago, my mother had my DNA tested to prove that I am 100% pure. We thought that would settle things, but no. Turns out that there are two types of Chihauhuas; the common type (emphasis on common) is called "apple-head." Those of my variety, "deer-head," aren't allowed to enter contests. I don't think its fair that the apple-heads--who look like their faces got smashed into a wall--are considered superior to us who have gracefully-elongated snouts. My grandmother commiserates as regards striking out on contests despite being deserving of a prize. She says the system is rigged against us. Do I have any recourse?
P.S. Thanks for answering last week's question about the double-dicker cathouse.

Bless your heart, Puplet. Check our column this week. It's Patches' turn to post.
Comment from Pam (respa)
-A very good column that is
informative and sometimes humorous.
-Very good images, including Abe Lincoln
with a cat.
-I like how you used the information
on the cat that had disappeared to
help "Lost" figure things out. Hope
it gets back soon.
-Love the new president question.
I am not sure about a cat, but there
are two dogs, and I think they
might have gotten a cat, too.
-The newest dog they got is a rescue.

Thanks for bringing us such knowledgeable advice from PC and Patch. They must do a lot of homework to come up with their answers. I feel sorry for that kitty that didn't know where she was. eshe didn't know her name. I wonder if pets can get amnesia. Pets often get reunited with their families, even after years. Absolutely adorable pictures. This was a joy to read, as usual. We're lucky to have PC and Patch to offer their expert advice. judi

Comment from Cindy Warren
Such great advice! Max was lost once. He found his way home, but not before his sister and I spent a very sleepless night. She walked around the house meowing, so I wouldn't have slept even if I hadn't been so worried. I love that video. The cat looks like it just wants to get away from the annoying little critter!

I hatched a box turtle once. Just as he came from the shell, I walked in, and so he imprinted on me. Tiny as he was, when he was out, he followed me around, too. I'm glad you're enjoying our column. Thanks for reviewing.
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Yvonne.
I told Ralph if he has any questions we could ask one of the cats. He asked me if the counselor's name was Dear Tabby and I told him no. He wants me to take his picture off my profile page. He said I have to pay to keep using it. I guess I'll take it down.

Comment from Iza Deleanu
Okay, today I learnt something new:"Dear Puplet,
This is not about sex. Male cats often mount others to show control, to declare themselves Alpha Cat. You don't need a different vet. He did a good job. These things just happen. Now that you know the reason, you can rest easy." So I am not worried that my boys are on the other side anymore:)

Love it!! I'm so happy you got two of the stacking pictures to work side by side! And I love your comments. I think Patch is falling in love with PC so this could get interesting!

Hello Damommy,
What a great poem of useful information if you have an animal of enjoy these beautiful creatures. I do!! I have almost twelve year old medium size black curly hair poodle, named Energy. Getting a little whimsy is what happens to Energy when he eats to fast. I plan to follow this column on Ask P&P for advice. My Energy, I think has loss his hearing. I call him, but he seem to not hear me. Anyway, this is a nice written message/non-fiction poem. I like all your artwork, especially the last one of Abraham Lincoln. I love the question, whether there would be a cat in the White House? Nicely done.

Thank you so much. If Energy is losing his hearing, now would be the time to work with hand signals so he will have some understanding of what you're saying. Good luck with that.

Thanks Damommy!! Have a great day.
