SUCH A SWEET LITTLE THING...? MAYBE. MAYBE NOT. READ ON!

GENEROUS MAHALS PAY ME A "PITY VISIT" WHILE RUNNING FREE

hey readers, do you see this? Mahals out on Runabout while I languish placidly in my cage? why am I not on Runabout,
you ask. You do ask, right? Well, because mom is now all "oh, I don't want any fighting, the Mahals have never fought and no teaching them how, Yum-Yum..."

she's so self-righteous and WRONG! JUST BECAUSE I GOT IN THAT ONE (NOTE FROM EDITOR: FIRST & POSSIBLY LAST) TIME, GNASHED MY TEETH, CHATTERED LOUD WARNINGS, BRISTLED MY FUR, GOT THAT PUNKY LITTLE MOHAWK OF MINE TO STAND UP ON END AS IF A BATTLE WAS IMMINENT...AND LEPT RIGHTEOUSLY UPON THE PRETTY ONE -

then mom goes and spoils the whole thing because she has never heard either Mahal chatter even one tooth or behave aggressively and we learn bad (according to mom) as well as good manners from one another, so now I am banished from Runabout with the Mahals "until you learn to behave, Yum-Yum!"

inspired speech, mom: you and all your Peace "blah, blah, blah."

"I am the rightful heir to 'Lord of the Herd' and the Mahals need to know it!"

(muted WHISPERS FROM EDITOR...)

Dear Readers, hi. It's YumYum. How are you? We are fine. Raj and Taj are visiting me during their Runabout.
See
Dick and Jane walk. See Dick and Jane run. See YumYum CENSORED! See YumYum's mohawk bristle in Self-righteouS INDIGNATION!

We are having such a nice time and wish you were here. Tea and crumpets, anyone?

Soon, one of the Mahals may be offered a "guest columnist" opportunity because, ApparentlY, mom thinks I do not always reflect the Sanctuary-Spirit of loving inclusivity and respect when welcoming new members to our herd. WHAT A CROCK OF ---

(shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, squeal and sound of more shuffling, teeth chattering and whining) uh-oh...

Dear Readers,
My name is Raj Mahal and I do not know what to say. Can we have dinner now?
