Hello:
Currently being four cylinders short of a V8 (Series V Alpine), I nevertheless
feel qualified to speak on the subject (dogs, not rod lengths). Carrie Sage,
being the official C.A.T. Dog (or at least I say she is until I can coerce
someone else into editing Tiger Tales, our club magazine, at which point they
can do whatever the heck they want!) happens to be a poodle, and a darn smart
one at that, having picked me and Jane as her parents. Somehow, her picture gets
in the magazine more than any other dog. I wonder how that happens!
