    up all sticky and smelling of ammonia.
    
 8> All entries on your Palm Pilot to-do list are "eat", 
    "sleep" and "lick self."

    thing over and over: "All scraps and no walks makes Rover
    a dull dog."
    
 6> E-mailed bomb threats to the Spay/Neuter Clinic have been 
    traced to your account.
    
 5> You wouldn't think it would be possible to have nude jpegs
    of the pets.com sock puppet, but there they are.
    
 4> The screen is coated with cat hair because Mister 
    No-Opposable-Thumbs can't get the cap off the anti-static
    spray.
    
 3> Dozens of new bookmarks to skinhead organizations, and your
    hairless cat's been acting a bit surly of late.
