Brenda Minaker's program was about raising a child to the age of 18 years. Did you know it will cost $160,000.27 | Alice's contest about what every baby comes equipped with had the ladies rather stumped.

Not his job, you know. So we took the angora guinea pig to the pet shelter, or humane society, or whatever the adoption agency/pet abattoir was called in those days. In front of me was a man with a large black dog, saying, "I want to return this dog. He wrecked my apartment, the lady who was supposed to look after him during the day, take him fora walk and a pee, is unreliable. I can't keep him." Pet man yaps, "This isn't a car lot. You don't take these animals for a test drive. You got him. He's yours. Keep him." Dog owner barks, voice rising, "I have a collar, a food dish, a water dish, a leash, a rubber bone...I didn't get all these things for a test drive. 1 meant to keep him. It's just not working." Pet man snarls, "He's your dog. He's your problem." Dog owner shrieks, "He'll be your problem because I'll let him loose outside the door. Is this better?" Pet man mumbles, "Well, I won't have to give you your money back." Dog man screams, "Is this what it's all about? A "couple of crummy bucks? I don't want your dumb money." While this feast of vitriol transpires, guinea pig man is standing right behind dog man with an unlikely story of an angora guinea pig found in a vacant lot. I can visualize pet man shouting, "Oh yeah, 1 believe you. Wild guinea pigs threatening Toronto. Breeding populations in | vacant lots, Threats to small children. Get out! Go home! You bought him, he's your problem!" 1 shuffled guiltily up to the wicket with my preposterous story and the man said, "He's a beautiful animal. What a shame someone did this to him. We can { place him easily." And he caringly placed him in a small animal cage. Go figure. - George Underhill
