June bugs are good, very exciting; they make lots of noise!! And we have these tiny white-yellow butterflies that must taste very good ‘cause they really go crazy over them! ;)

LOL, thanks so much for posting this story for a needed laugh!

My dog is fond of batting his food bowl around and then looking up at me wistfully: “Please! Food! I’m so hungry — I haven’t eaten in days!”

Liar. You just ate two hours ago.

When I was growing up, some of our cats had a favorite treat: June bugs. They are fairly large beetles, and they are very noisy. They have a loud buzz, and they are also very crunchy.

I know how Harry feels - I have one bottle of Sagawas Teryaki sauce left… They stopped making it a while back…

Our cats are strictly indoor - outdoor only on leash, and they do handle the leash fairly well… except for tree climbing… nuff said…

After an invasion from the garage a couple years ago they won’t even bother with a spider below a certain, rather large, radius - just not dangerous enough…

Moths are only interesting if they are quick, but crickets (every now and then some frog food escapes) are fascinating… Almost the same color as the carpet, and they seem to just vanish even when a cat couldn’t possibly miss… and then they magically appear a few inches away… now THAT’s cool…

Usually around this time of year we get “miller moths” that my cat likes to jump up, catch, and swallow whole. This year, however, it is “slim pickin’s” because the “miller moths” have gone up to the mountains without coming here.

No pity, please, ‘cause he is eating some other bugs he finds in our grass.

My Whippet, Moose, jumped up on the kitchen counter to steal a raw sweet potato and ate most of it before I noticed.

Thanks so much for the laugh. I’m trying to laugh really quietly because I’m at work and don’t really want everyone to think I’ve gone round the bend. I will have to read this again later when I can really let it out. This reminds me of soooo many dog’s I’ve known and loved. They do have their ways!

He probably liked the crunch too!

I used to have a cat, when I lived in Austin (70’s-peace/love-hippy daze), who would eat those big black water bugs. One year, Austin had a HUGE problem with them — they were everywhere — roads, the ground, on walls, flying — yike!

Anyway, my cat used to catch them & crunch, crunch, cruch — ALL GONE!

“It was (20) 40 years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play” … (and into history they went)

Musical Milestone:
On this day in 1967, four decades ago, the Fab Four released “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” which was and still is one of the best albums of all time. Claire Shipman takes a look back.
