I refuse to let anything furry into the house unless I have absolute assurance that it is house broken and has been to an obedience school and a taxidermist. I have four young children (which goes a long Way toward explaining why I don t need anything else clutter- ing up the place) and have spent the last several years yelling No whenever they ask for a dog, cat, hamster, gnu, ant colony or ocealot. ; Quite apart from my natural dislike for four (or more) legged animals, there is also the point that as soon as you become acquired by a pet, you also-fall under the jurisdiction of one protective society or another. It can be quite embarrassing, as it was to a friend of mine, to be picketed by the Toronto chapter of the Water Buffalo Protective As- sociation just because his pet s coat was getting a little dull. He figured that if the stupid thing didn t want to go out onto the fresh air and sunshine, then it s his own fault it s losing hair. He just kept him for a conversation piece, anyway. Example: What's new? There s a water buffalo in the living room. It s not that my children are affection all my neighbours have some kind of creature chewing up the yard, chewing up the rug, or chewing up the budget. The kids stand at the edge of our property waving and. calling to the hound next door. So does its owner. He can t get near the thing without risking the loss ' Around Our Town Visiting their parents Mr. and balcony of his apartment forsome deprived of a pet s vagrant Mr. and Mrs, Stanley Quantz, of a hand. The pooch has been chained to the same tree since it was old enough to snarl. And the chain is getting very rusty. The.guy up the street bought /a Scotch Terrier just so he could desecrate all the neighbour's lawns as he walked at night. At least, this is the only reason I can see for having the mutt. It s no friend to the -kids they're scared stiff of it. They have to play in my yard because the terrier is playing in theirs. And as to its being a watch dog, it watches the sun go down and then bawls out of sheer terror. Another friend of mine has several cats. He insists they're the cleanest animals going, always washing and licking themselves, shining their coats and. scrubbing their little faces. And, he pointed out, they have no odour. Which may be true except that when I was there it smelled like every piece of furniture in the place was in heat. While he was telling me how little trouble they are, they knocked over two full bottles of beer, one transistor radio, now on its way to the incinerator and an antique beer mug that can only be replaced if he goes 150 years back in time and steals one from the treasure vaults of Gistavus III. Birds, of course, are quite another specie. They have feathers and cannot be house broken, so there s two things they leave around. It strikes me that the narrator in Poe's The Raven was distraught, not by what the bird said, but by the fact that the blasted thing wouldn t get out. It just sat there dishonouring the bust of Pallas. There is no tableau quite so comical as that of someone whistling through the bars of a birdcage to. coax hi him mutely, then distractedly acfoss the nation, is trying to get .

Generally, the bird just stares at sharpens its beak a bit, probably in case the guy tries to climb in. Another skit, re-enacted , daily a parakeet back into the cage after its exercise flight around the living room, during which it has perched. on the lamp, the top of the drapes, and the upper shelf.of the bookcase where the first editions are kept, dropping a bit at each spot and chirping viciously at it pursuer. The advertising agencies are into the pet business, too. They think up all these beautiful sketches so that the packing companies can get rid of their government rejected meat. Some are ingenious. Ever see the one that shows a bunch of cats gallop- ing towards the sponsor s pro- duct? Know how they get them to react that way? There s a pack of dogs just out of sight of the camera. The cats aren t running for the food. They're running for dear life. And I have to laugh at the woman who comes onto the T.V. screen saying, Poopsie (or whatever the pup s name is) is a wery special member of our family. It sure is. It means that for a garbage disposal system. And it sure beats keeping pigs. Now, I have to confess that I do have some pets. I keep a web of spiders down in the basement, mainly because if you accident- ally step on the lot of them, nobody gives a damn. No society calls up and threatens to report you, no one complains, no one CARES. Absolutely nothing happens except that after about ten minutes it rains like hell.
