For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 08, 2017

Lizzie tried this trick the last time she visited the Cruikshank farm and Elly said, “No” then too. Sorry, Lizzie, it looks like you are going to have to wait until you are no longer living in your mother’s house before you can get a cat. Elly is clearly a dog person.

nice try, “Lizard breath”

Be happy with your dog, Liz. Once you’ve moved out, you can get a kitten if you want. (Heh, heh – I love spoilers.)

Yes, I think you just asked for one!

Wait until your up North and miles away from home before you get that kitty.

She’s on to you, Lizzie!

The wife and I are still looking after the kitty several years after the girls moved out.Actually,he’s a senior citizen like us now!

…bunnies?

Elly know who’ll end up taking care of the kitten!

It’s the wrong time of year for kittens anyway.

I’ve got 2 cats and love them both, BUT THEY SHED!! Cat hair everywhere! In things and on things clear through the house! It even gets into the battery compartment of my mouse!

Cats are good for three things: (1) Shedding (2) Leaving foot prints on the car and (3) making more cats! She saw through you!

Tell me about the rabbits, George.

Lynn’s Notes:

For many years, my husband and I helped out on his sister’s farm in Manitoba. For two or three weeks every summer, we did everything from seeding to combining to feeding the hogs. One year when the kids were older, we went for Christmas.
