h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Apparently, it's the season for dogs with wanderlust. Sinatra the husky went on holiday in Florida without permission, all the way from New York City. He's back home now.

This morning, Elektra said, 'Scout, the neighbour's Jack Russell, was found using Facebook.'

I replied, 'That's remarkable. I knew he was a smart dog, but I didn't know he had computer skills.'

In my defence, I hadn't had my coffee yet. And Elektra is famous for leaving out antecedent information, such as that Scout had gone missing again. We're always running into the neighbours looking for that adventurous dog. This time, he was four miles away. Tracking Scout is a full-time job.

Lola won't even go outside willingly when there's precipitation. It's been snowing for several days. Snow is daunting when you weigh five pounds.

A shout-out to all the winter dogs.

As for cats, see the contrast:

Haha, it's 8pm here, and I still understood the facebook dog sentence the same way you did before your coffee!

So it's not just me.

Nope.

Huskies are like that. Many of them also climb fences and such, so it's hard to keep them somewhere.

Those blue eyes are just mesmerising. I'll bet they get away with a lot.

Oh yes! But not all have blue eyes, some have brown, ours has one brown and one blue.

Heterochromia. One of my sisters has that - one brown eye, one green.

it's relatively common for huskies (at least more common than for other dog breeds for instance)

Now I know something.

Must have very small paws, to use a touchscreen, or keyboard...
