Dear Editor of Tiny-Dog:

I have just experienced a series of cold chills down my spine, as I read the letter from Ken. I have had the same dream quite often, and it is not a fun dream. I have classes that I haven't been to for the whole semester, and now I have a test coming up and I need the units to graduate. I have had this dream, or variations, for years. It varies a little, but the theme is always the same. I have huge tests coming up and I haven't been to class or studied for the entire semester. I guess college is more stress than one realized. Either we have a mutated gene, my fault no doubt, or this dream is a lot more prevelant then we think. It would be interesting to hear from other people to see if they have had the same dream.

I also have a message from Nora.

You refered to me as an Arkansas dog. I must correct you, I am forced to live here by the people I live with. I was dragged kicking and screaming from my home in California. I have no connection with Arkansas, other than I am forced to live here; although I must admit I love it anywhere that there is food to eat.

Thank you,

Nora

Anyway just wanted to let you know I like your site, it must take a lot of work. I did notice that your Simpsons list still has the same....have and need list. I haven't looked lately, but I guess they are getting pretty hard to find.

signed,

Nora's Master.....ha...maybe I should make that slave.

Dear sir,

The recurring dream rant and the related letter have indeed revealed that the dream of missing school, or being forced to reattend, has been hard-coded into the lowry genes. I however have another unpublished letter outside of our family tree attesting to yet another case of the recurring school dream. One thing is clear, and I want no one to make a mistake about this: the subject of this recurring dream is by no means closed, and it holds a terrible mystery as yet unlocked. Until the answer is found, legions of us will be subconsciously flunked, held back, and forced back into P.E. and American History on into our golden years.

As for Nora and her claim to not be Arkansan, I flatly refuse to hear such an argument from this impudent beast. I have on many occasions via the phone heard her rave at length about Arkansas' vast opportunities to rashly confront pit bulls and blue tick hounds, as well as to run barking in the weeds at phantom intruders. It seems such pursuits were somewhat limited in California's paved and dogless corridors.

Simpsons figurines have indeed been all but impossible to find, due to the inexplicable decision of the manufacturer to delay the release of the next wave of figurines, which was originally slated for April. Rest assured that the simpsons page always remains current.

sincerely,

tiny dog.
