HOUNDOG REPORT RECEIVED
WITH SKEPTICISM
Those who stayed awake late last week to hear the abstract of Professor
Houndog's paper on psychological aberration were for the most part astonished
at some of his statements, while others were outright disbelieving that
canines could actually veer so far from the norm as to engage in the antics
he described. Whi le the average parent who allows his offspring
to be enrolled in institutions of higher learning fully expects to hear
of catfood binging, salmon can sniffing, and in some localities (such as
Foothill Obedience School in California) avocado stuffing with resultant
obesity, even beer can chugging, he definitely does not want to learn of
fraternization with felines. The editor of this journal is
inclined to discount Professor Houndog's report as a blatant bid for sensationalism.

ABSENTEEISM IN DECLINE IN 1999
A survey sponsored by SPCA, a humanoid organization which is closely monitored
by Extra Sensory Notification Network, reports that the number of canines absconding from their usual
domiciles over the 4th of July this year was down from its usual numbers.
The humanoids were at a loss to account for this, but some in the canine
world believe that the large numbers sleeping in after the tail-chop howl-in
may have skewed the stats. This journal wishes to salute a nice humanoid
lady in Grant's Pass, Oregon, for her efforts in helping the pop-bang refugees.
