FANG'S PET OF THE WEEK
*Monkey*
Mo @ Mojo Kingdom
Every now and again Fang awards his Pet of the Week to a furry friend who is no longer with us. Monkey was a very special cat, and most deserving of this posthumous award. He was a 'Hemingway' cat, known for thumb-like appendages on their paws, and was named Monkey for a multitude of reasons. He was even prone to a little recreational substance abuse, meeting up with the next door neighbors cat at the catnip plant where they would tussle around in a euphoric state for hours. He was a great companion and a good friend, until an eagle swooped down and whisked him away. True story. RIP Monkey, we miss you.

From Carla @ Sunday Life: Looking for...

Hi all. I'm writing a new column for a soon-to-be-relaunched Sunday Life magazine called Extra Ordinary Lives.
 
I am looking for many and varied subjects. Perhaps you know someone who survived an earthquake? Or fought off a mountain lion? Maybe they served 15 years in prison for a crime they didn't commit? They could have woken from a coma... or won the lottery... or travelled in a leaky boat for fifteen days to try their luck in Australia. The keyword is 'extraordinary'... think: being shot at while travelling in Egypt or living in a teepee. Or recovering from an ice addiction. Or maybe you've been a surrogate mum for seventeen children.
 
If you can help me, please email or phone Carla Grossetti on 0405 525101 or email carlagrossetti@optusnet.com.au.
