(Headline, Huffington Post)
Our biggest surprise was how good Ronald Reagan looked, pretending to be a puppy again. We gave him a whole-body buzz cut and dyed him in mixed gray, black, white, and cafe au lait. Cute dog!
As we reported to the press, Ronald fell into our big hamburger grinder. When a batch of ground meat and fur came out the other end, well, we were sure that poor old Ronald was a goner.
But not so. He got wedged up in there before reaching the swirling blades. The big cat from next door wasn’t so lucky. Ronald will never catch up with old Whiskers now.
Ronnie likes to sit in front of the high def and watch the video clip from the news story over and over again. There he is and… oops, into the grinder. Now that’s news.
Look for Ronald to return next month. “Faithful Family Dog Returns Home After 1,000-Mile Trek,” and then, “Family Dog Saves Infant From Burning Crib.” We’d better be sober for that one!

Does writing excuse watching? 
Put Ronald through the grinder and ship the meat to South Korea. Just don’t let Brigitte Bardot catch you doing it. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/frame_game/2002/01/wok_the_dog.html. Perhaps Brigitte can donate herself to the Soylent Green Foundation.
