Behaviour Quiz
--------------

Your 10 month old, intact male Labrador/Collie mix went missing sometime during the day. You got home at 4:00pm and made the discovery. Somehow the side gate from the back yard got opened. "Blitz" had not run off before. Since he was a puppy you had taken him for walks and he never tried to run away, even when you walked him off leash in the early mornings. None of your immediate neighbors noticed him loose. You phoned your local radio station with a lost dog notice. What's your best "first" step, since you haven't a clue where to start. 

A. Get in the car and start circling the blocks around your neighborhood.
B. Walk around the same places to take him for walks, calling his name loudly.
C. Call the weather bureau and find out which direction the wind was coming from during the day.
D. Call the Animal Regulation Department and report him missing.

Recipe: Carbonnade de boeuf flamande
www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/ carbonnade_beef_and_beer_stew
Beef stew -- sort of a Belgian version of *boeuf à la bourguignonne* with beer instead of red wine, and usually more onion-y, sometimes even sweetened. This what I'll make for this weekend's bash

Quotes of the Week

No price is too great for the scalp of the enemy king.
-- Alexander Koblents

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
-- C. S. Lewis, *The Screwtape Letters*

A hot bath! I cry, as I sit down in it! Again as I lie flat, a hot bath! How exquisite a pleasure, how luxurious, fervid, and flagrant a consolation for the rigours, the austerities, the renunciation of the day.
-- Rose Macaulay

We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.
-- Miguel de Unamuno

Another giraffe poem, this one by Shel Silverstein:

        If you had a giraffe
        and he stretched another half .
        you would have a giraffe and a half.
