 Jade Jardine and Lily leave for Daytona Beach -- on a spiritual quest. (Photo by J.M. Hilton) Posted by Picasa

The Eye On The Park...

Dateline Lincoln Park:

A most interesting arrival today in the form of one, Tabitha Catt, ex-wife of erstwhile global menace, Archibald Catt, who is currently serving a long sentence (in fact, an entire paragraph) in a Lithuanian pound for crimes too numerous to mention.

"I cannot be held responsible for the actions of my former husband," said Ms. Catt, who arrived (coach) at Lincoln Park International with her eight adolescent catkins: Buffy, Cuffy, Duffy, Enuffy, Fluffy, Huffy, Muffy, and Teflon.

Ms. Catt further informed us that she's been offered the position of instructor for the junior bayonet brigade at Aunt Lucinda's military school and boot camp.

"I have all the necessary requirements," she said. "Before I was a wife and mother, I was a soldier in Archie's revolutionary army the first time he attempted to conquer the world. Aunt Lucinda says I'm exactly what she's looking for in a faculty member."

Ms. Catt said she'll start off her new job teaching a kindergarten class the basics of urban guerilla warfare. "You'd be amazed how eager the young are to learn military tactics," she said.

We had a few more questions for Ms. Catt, but Buffy and Muffy badly clawed us, and it took us a while to staunch the flow of blood.

Also glimpsed at the airport:

Uber celeb Lily Hilton, tightly wrapped in a straitjacket by Bitches Gone Wild of Phoenix, was seen being loaded aboard a private jet early this evening, accompanied by her adopted daugher Jade Jardine, and two hefty Rottweilers in white coats of unknown design. According to a spokesbarker, the pair was headed for Daytona Beach, on what he described as a "spiritual quest."

When pressed, literally, the spokesbarker spilled his entire bowl of kibble, and told us that Lily and Jade were on their way to meet a former NASCAR mascot named Rev, who recently saw the face of Dog on a beer-can lid.

"As I'm sure you know, considering what inveterate snoops you are, Lily's been suffering from a nervous condition and Jade has lost her sense of smell," said he.

"We hear Lily's been possessed by a demon."

"Whatever. Anyway, Rev's a good ole boy who insists he can help them, and they're up for shelling out ten-thousand bowsers and the down payment on a double-wide cathouse in order to find out."

"So Lily's no better?" we asked, feigning genuine concern.

"Did you see the way they loaded her on that plane?" he growled. "I think they'd rather be flying with Hannibal Lector."

Gosh.

The Eye On The Park...

Dateline Lincoln Park:

"Lily has been exorcised," barked the tinny voice on my knock-off cell phone. "The demon has left her body and was last seen gnawing on a Greenies dental chew."

"Dixie?"

"Who else?" she inquired, sounding surprised. "I figured you gossip-hounds would be panting for any news from Daytona. Well, Jade just sent a text message, giving me the skinny. Evidently, Lily took one look at the image of Dog on the lid of that beer can, woofed an unearthly howl, and the demon shot out of her mouth and took off after Rev, the cat."

"Rev? Oh, the good ole boy who used to be with NASCAR. Don't tell me the demon caught him?"

"Jade said he did, and Rev is no longer technically a male, but then he let him go. Even demons have their pride, I guess, and Digby did not want to live inside the body of a cat -- neutered or otherwise."

"Digby?"

"The demon. According to Jade, he's really cute. Somewhat plastic in appearance, but I understand demons are like that."

"So what are they going to do with, uhm, Digby -- banish him to Hell?"

"Great ground beef with gravy! Lily would never dream of doing anything so crude. Instead, she plans to adopt him and get him into therapy."

"Dixie, this is a demon, right? The kind of entity once written about in the 'Malleus Maleficarum'? Are we lapping out of the same bowl here?"

"I'm guessing so, although I never read the book or even saw the movie. I didn't know animals COULD be possessed until it happened to Lily."

"It's my understanding that a demon can possess anybody it wants to possess. St. Hillary once drove a demon out of his camel -- or so it is written."

"Written in the tabs, I bet! I didn't know senators could become saints, and when did she get a camel?"

"Dixie, it's getting late and I'm suffering from doggy flu."

"Oh, dear. Try a milk bone dipped in dogwood juice. That always works wonders for me. It even works in place of Prozac."

"Thanks for the tip. Are Lily and Jade on their way home?"

article continued...

"They are, and Digby is traveling with them."

"Just one big happy family, huh? Lily's got quite a brood these days -- Moxie over in France, Jade Jardine, the two hyena cubs, and now a demon. She's easily outdone both Madonna and Angelina Jolie in my estimation."

"Speaking of Jade," said Dixie, "the poor thing has yet to regain her sense of smell."

"Oh, that is a shame. She considered sniffing to be her life's work."

"Well, at least she doesn't have to worry about that new perfume she whipped up for Lily."

"How's that?"

"Spencer's wife, Gwendolyn Monk, came in this morning and bought out our entire supply. It cost her a fortune! But who's counting -- aside from our accountant? 'Spencer loves the scent on me,' she squeaked, and now she's got enough to swim in."

"Do chipmunks swim, Dixie?"

"How the kennel would I know? You're the one with all the answers. Listen, I'll post a picture of Digby on LuLu's blog. According to Jade, he's adorable in the flesh -- or whatever."

"A veritable Demon Lover?"

"What?"

"Thanks for the tip, Dixie."

Oh, but I am one cold chow-chow. I was a very bad girl this morning, because I got out and ran across the street to the park. I was there long enough for my paws to freeze and when I got home I had to soak them in warm water, and that was almost as bad as getting a bath.

Besides, there was no one over there to play with. Where are all my friends?

I know! They are inside where it's warm. LOL.
