Casa, the canine journalist, has joined the staff of the Melrose Mirror, translating her doggy messages to her boss (and partner-in-crime) SilverStringer Shirley Rabb. Her first feature of many to come (we hope) is carried in today's issue, so if you're interested in the tales of a talking dog, check out her story in the list of articles at the right. Definitely intelligible. Arf.

Published the first Friday of each month by the SilverStringers of Melrose, Massachusetts -- December 2, 2005
Regardless of individual religions, December seems to be a time for reflection on our basic values. As humans, we should be able to excel and rise above the other animals -- but realistically we have yet to overcome many of our differences. And so we SilverStringers, publishers of the good times Melrose Mirror, wish all peoples of the world a more peaceful, joyous, healthful, understanding and fulfilling holiday. Good luck, World.
