Cool Hand Luke looks up at me while he enjoys some corn. The super smart Luke always catches me when I've getting him on the camera.

Felix takes a whiff of my sock. Why? 'Cause he's a wild rebel. Other rats might stay away from my sock. Felix walks up, takes a whiff and says "now what?"

Claude enjoys some corn and peas at the edge of my bed, where he often hides his grub. (12/24/1998)

Felix climbs up me to try and pull an Alec Baldwin and smack the camera out of my face. I'm taking him to court for that and for sticking holes in my San Jose Sharks sweatshirt I'm wearing here. (12/24/1998)

How do you like that little trick Monty's doing there? He had a stroke a while back and doesn't really have any coordination, so rather than actually turn his head around, he flips it over backwards like that. Weird, huh? I don't know how he does that, but he's actually pulled his head back even farther than that. I hope he doesn't hurt himself. (12/24/1998)

Claude is one good looking fellow. He almost blends in perfectly with my rug. He's a great guy, loves to be pet, but also loves to play. (12/24/1998)
