How to Woo Your Mate’s Pet
Rent a movie the entire “family” can enjoy, such as “Homeward Bound” or “White Fang.”
* Substitute your jazz CDs for taped Warren Eckstein shows.
* Open an account for your loved one’s animal at Petville USA so it can have instant access to all the treats and toys it desires.
* Drape Fluffy’s favorite blankie on your lap and make sure to always carry Pounce in your pocket.
* In the case of cats, make it a rule to never wash your hands after you make a tuna sandwich.
* Bow to the critter and call it by its true title: queen or king.
* Never suggest Rover sleep outside. Next time, it might be you who is put out on the porch.
