                   Food Slut. And proud of it.


                        November 24, 2003

                     NOTE FROM THE LIST VET:

    Mr. Jeffries the Bassett Hound has been named by the 2004
    Guinness Book of World Records as the dog with the largest
   ears in the world. Measured at 11.5 inches, the hound's ears
          flap in the wind and are longer than his legs.

    Not to be outdone, we here at Top5 Pets evaluated our own
     pets' talents and strengths and found greatness. Now if
        only the Guinness people would return our calls...
