ANIMAL TALES
Reunited And It Feels So Goood! Lost Kitty Finds Way Home After 9 Years On The Lam
HANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!
AND WE AT CRABBY GOLIGHTLY ARE SO RELIEVED THAT WE HAVE DECIDED TO AVOID DIVING INTO THE PARTISAN MUCK OF THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, skip the scolding of Kanye West and TMZ for their airport shenanigans, and forego for the moment sending our good wishes to Lindsay Lohan and her galpal-cum-fiance Samantha Ronson.
Because today we have more heartwarming news.
Today our leathered hearts are softened by a report that Dixie, a 15-year-old London area feline, has been returned to her home after disappearing 9 years ago. This is the type of story that makes Crabby go weak-kneed; the perfect happy yarn with which to end the week.
Seems Dixie went missing back in 1999 and her owners thought she had been killed by a car. But recently some caring soul, God bless'em, telephoned the local animal shelter to report a disheveled, skinny cat prowling the neighborhood.
Animal rescue officers responded, discovered the calico kitty and checked for a microchip. Lo and behold, Ginger was a mere mile from her original homestead, and was quickly and happily reunited with owners Alan and Gilly Delaney.
The couple were "overjoyed" to be reunited with the pussycat after so many years, an animal officer told Reuters. Said Gilley Delaney, "Dixie's personality, behavior and little mannerisms have not changed at all. We don't think she has stopped purring since she came back through the door."
We are so touched! This is far and away a better story than the one Crabby has about the one-time neighbor who let her cat out. Poor Sweetie Pie was picked up by the animal control and immediately put down. Should have had a microchip.
And by the way: has anyone seen a gray and white long-hair kitty who answers to Spooky Monster in Greensboro, N.C.?
Crabby wants him back.
