Think they would serve him up at Deitrich? Would he taste good? Either way, it's definitley time to put the tray back in the dishwasher! We eat off these every day!
BACKSTORY: Dave & Lacey brought over a kitten for Clint & Carolyn to try out. This poor kitten did not fit into our family. He was terrified of Clint, somewhat scared of Carolyn, and basically was ONLY interested in hiding behind piles of clutter large enough that human beings can't get to him. Completely anti-social and a nervous wreck. So 2 days later, we gave the kitten back to Dave & Lacey, as Lacey had stated we could if we didn't like it. He ultimately found a new home with other animals and kids and we hear the kitten was much happier and doing well. And he's probably still alive, too, which is more than we can say for poor little Beavis. Dave & Lacey's kid nicknamed the kitten Runny, because he kept running away, but he did eventually get a real name. We never found out what it was, and it doesn't really matter. Look at his feet shaking! This guy was an intellectual wimp. He had no place in our household. We require strong cats.

Hamadryas Baboon

The Hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) is a species of baboon from the Old World monkey family. It is the northernmost of all the baboons; being native to the Horn of Africa and the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. These regions provide habitats with the advantage for this species of fewer natural predators than central or southern Africa where other baboons reside. The Hamadryas baboon was a sacred animal to the ancient Egyptians and appears in various roles in ancient Egyptian religion, hence its alternative name of 'sacred baboon'.
