Oh, Joy!

December 8, 2012 by PJ. Garner

“Food is an important part of a balanced diet.”
(Fran Lebowitz)

Well, slap my ass with a hairless cat; I am sitting here watching as Joy devours several big leaves of Romaine lettuce and then, best of all, at long last and better late than never, it is now being followed by the oh-so-satisfying loud and crunchy sound of a monkey biscuit being [Read more…]
