Summer Enrichment for Pets, Debate Week

Our Mom keeps us studying in the summer. We are on vacation but she does not want our brains to soften. Mine feels just like it does during the school year but she may be on to something. A cat can't watch tree frogs and gekkos everyday without losing calculus and Cat History themes.

This was debate week. Sister, my dog, attended with us. Here is our debate:

Leash Laws: For or Against?

Rules: no name calling like "dog breath" or "hairball"; the louder your voice, the stronger your point.

Sister: I am against leash laws. How can a dog protect her people and cats if she can't run around checking the property. The hurricane broke our fence. Just because I go out into the street to sniff the Methodist tires across the street is no reason to stay home on a leash. What if a bad cat came into our yard or a bad dog? Leash laws are wrong!

Whistle: I am for leash laws. Dogs, except you, Sister, are scary and bad. Who needs dogs running around making poop and barking? What if they came into our house? Fish has a splint and he can't run as fast as I can. Put every dog except you on a leash! I like Molly and she's a dog but she is too busy at her home to come see us. She is an exception. All dogs on leashes!

Everyone applauded for us! We got a cat cookie for our good debate.

I'm not sure what we will study next week. The topic may be: "Hold It or Use the Litterbox: Six Steps to Better Pet Behavior. Yuk, like that would be fun...

Yours,

Whistle
