pet of the month

MOMMA MIA!No words. Just listen. First things first, deary:My name is Momma and I’m “tri-pawed.”That’s right, at just two years of age, I sufferedan injury to one of my gorgeous beagle-mixgams. That resulted in (GASP!) an amputation.Squeal amongst yourselves but don’t cry for me,Argentina! Like most leading ladies, I’ve had toovercome quite a bit but have risen from theashes like a Phoenix and I’m back, baby. I’mBACK!

In case you haven’t noticed, I possess a slightflare for the dramatic. But it’s not bad drama.It’s joyful. I may not be able to win a dog race(what young lady wants to be called a “dog”anyway?) but I can keep up with any of the up-and-coming starlets on my tail. Just watch merun. Speaking of, did you notice my action-ori-ented head shot? Nice work, right? It was on theset of a Western I just wrapped with Gidget, the“¡Yo Quiero Taco Bell” actor. She couldn’t keepup. Poor thing.

Now I’m auditioning to be your leading ladyat the HSPCA. I’ve done worse venues. I’d reallylove to perform my repertoire for you in ahomier space. Won’t you give me the role?There’s an added bonus: your friends can referto me as “Yo Momma!” Take that, Gidget!
