<<SNIP>  Clearly she has been logging onto the computer when I'm not around
and reading my mail from other people on the list to learn these behaviors!!

These dogs are just too smart for me.  I had no idea that a former sheep dog
would catch onto the internet so quickly!   Maybe I should ask her for some
tips!>>
While I have not had a problem with Belle using the computer or the phone
yet, she would not be the first of my animals to do so.  Well, she is only
10 mo. old, so give her time, I guess.
There is Saavik the Computer Literate Siamese who likes to help me type, bat
at the cursor on the screen, and push the mouse around.  I came home one day
to find the mouse dangling off the back of the computer desk, swinging like
a thief on a rope.  I think she and the other cats were playing tether ball
with it.  Needless to say, I go through a lot of mice. Usually due to cord
failure.
Then there is Ragged who likes to listen to the messages on my answering
machine and mash the "Memo" button to leave me little kitty "I love you"
messages.  Not that I object to his listening to the messages, mind you, but
this erases them, and he usually forgets to tell me about them . . . and he
never gets the numbers right.

Jack and Belle (could you put the monitor down just a little bit?  I still
have a long way to grow.)
