Take Note

"If you happen to be an animal lover, better note that Dog Week begins Sept. 19 and Cat Week Nov. 7. The dog and cat people haven't seen eye to eye about staging a joint Dog and Cat Week with a view to easing the overburdened calendar. On the contrary, they're placed them as far apart as possible. There is also a report that Alcoholics Anonymous will select one of the intervening periods for Be Kind to Pink Elephants Week."
