Thank you Desta for helping Princess submit a letter column from "San Francisco, CA"
Princess' Note:
I'm not furry, but I am a pet. My name is Princess and I'm an
African Grey parrot. Me, my friend Coco (also a parrot)and Daisy (a
toucan) hang out and live where my good friend Desta works in San Francisco.
We wanted to let you know that we think San Francisco should win the
chance to host the 2012 Olympics (over NY). What do you think Woofer? By
the way, I learned to say "peekaboo" this week.
Woofer's Point:
Peekabo Princess!! It's nice to get a note from other species! I know alot of my pals around here have opinions about the race for the games between SF & NYC. I know it would cause alot of congestion to our city over here, but it would also bring in alot of money to the area. From what I hear & see NYC always rises to the occasion and does things in the most "grand" ways, not to mention that I bet alot of new people would get to see me and pick me up and scratch my itchy back. I keep hearing more and more about the bad stuff that it might bring with it, but I say lets go through with it, we're a tough city and it would be so cool! I haven't been to San Francisco yet, but I'm sure it's a nice place and you at least deserve second place. If we do get it and you would like to come out, I'm sure my daddies would let you stay here, I know daddy Greg has fun drinking with your friend Desta!
Ladee's Counterpoint:
What am I parrot food?? I really feel pathetic the way everyone addresses everything to Woofer every week (Except my boyfriend, Dylan - and i hope you still are a boy after seeing your new harness). I'm here too ya know, and rather regal if I do say so...I'm even a purebred, Woofer is a damn little mutt..and very wrong about this issue. The last thing we need is more people around here. The olympics would bring more cars around as well, and we have a difficult enough time crossing the streets when our daddies take us out for walks. I say if San Francisco wants the Olympics in 2012 more power to them, by then I'll be at a nice ripe old age and will want the bother even less, Let's keep NYC the way it is and not make it even more insane!! To spend that much money on new stadiums that would not get that much use, would be such a waste, give some of it to programs that help to put homeless people to work and get them housing since everytime we go for a walk there seem to be more people in need of help. There are much more important things then games (Except the US Open poppa Greg - woof!) Peekabo indeed - try protecting a home in Jersey City, then we'll talk!
Thank you Rick for helping Dylan submit a letter column from "Jersey City, NJ"
Dylan's Note:
Parrots can talk? Who decided that out of all the animals,
Parrots were gonna be the ones that could talk? I want to be able to talk,
because I have an awful lot to say. A lot more than "peekaboo." The
only thing I can do besides bark is this really high-pitched squeal,
which I swear can set off car alarms and which my daddies really really
hate! (he he he). Ok...I hope everyone noticed that Ladee called me
her boyfriend!! I told you! You all laughed at me, but I charmed the
tail off her by playing hard to get. So, not only do I have a girlfriend
now, but she's an older woman who can teach me things! (if only I
still had my balls. Oh well.) Hey, Princess, I hate to disagree with you
(especially since you can talk and will probably be bad-mouthing me in
no time) but I think the Olympics should be held in NYC. That way, I
can compete. I'm pretty athletic. Ask Ladee. My events are the 16
foot dash, the Squirrel chase, and the waist high jump. I don't compete in water sports, however, so don't even ask! Now, I'm not sure how
good I'll be at these events in 2012, because I'll be somewhere around
70 dog years old, but right now, I'm in the best shape I've ever been
in! Let's see, what else is on my mind. Oh yeah...how come when I
pick up garbage off the streets do my daddies yell at me, but then they
complain about the garbage on the streets? Humans are wierd.
Thank you Desta for helping Choo submit a reply from "San Francisco, CA"
Choo's Note:
This is Coco, a close friend of Princess who wrote to you guys
last week. Just wanted to make sure you were clear on one thing. I am
the one that learned to say "peekaboo", Princess only says "eekaboo". Now
that I cleared that up, I wanted to comment on some of the points and
counterpoints of the 2012 Olympic discussion. Dylan, I've heard you're a
pretty good athlete, but doubt you could compete against some of the
best athletes the world has to offer. And Ladee is not a good judge since
she has this huge crush on you. Ladee, the only reason Princess
addressed the last email to Woofer is because he seems to be the bigger sports
fan. You are definitely not "parrot food". We do not and would not ever
eat dog! Yuck. Woofer, although all of us birds here in SF disagree
with you about who should host the Olympics, we still like you especially
since you mentioned "fun" "drink" and "Desta" all in the same sentence.
Actually, Desta asked me to say that.
