my dearest Maxie, I would be honored, but I should warn you. I like to play a lot. Mama sometimes has to break me and Roxana up from our play. She says that when Roxana is sleeping I ought not go picking fights with her. But mama says that she is a real tough girl, and if I ain'ts careful, she will kick my butt good. She almost got me once. I attacked her and when quick as a flash up the tube-thingy but I lost my grip and slid right into her. Boy, did that hurt. Mama showed no sympathy either she just sat there and laughed and pointed. But anyways. . . I will take your paw in marriage. We will have to snuggle in a blanket cuz the hammock ain't too big, and I sleep comfortable in it by myself. Roxana tries to boot me out all the time even though she has a hammock for herself, so I occasshunoly fall from the top. Let me discribe my self for you. I am pretty lean, but I am about 3 pounds. Mama says I gained alot of weight when she got me off that cat food stuff and put me on the 8-n-1? I don't care all I know is this food tastes like raisins. Mama says it is raisin-flavored, but I say it is raisins, they just don't stick to my teeth. I have dark brown and white fur. Mama says I look like dutch on this here web sight: http://www.optics.rochester.edu:8080/users/pgreene/jpegs/dutch.jpg. So if you want to see what I look like, just look at Dutch and you will get the idea. Gotta goes now. Mama coming. If she finds out I hitched a ride to work in her car, she'll boot me but good. Loves, Alexander :-) [Posted in FML issue 1656]
