The thick plottens

I was telling honey that I'd found the website(http://www.littlewolf.com/) of the folks in San Diego county from whom Jen had probably acquired her Shiba Inu pup, and he started reminiscing about another breeder in the area from where he'd acquired his cat, an American Bobtail.

As we talked more, the coincidences about the two breeders built up and up. The cat breeder had a menagerie of exotic animals, and so do the Shiba Inu people, who also sell Nigerian dwarf goats and bengal cats.

When honey took his bobtail, Cero for his jags (vaccinations), the breeder told him he'd stopped breeding bobtails because achieving the breed standard was too difficult, and switched to bengals. Honey's credit card bill for Cero was in the name of a building-supplies firm, which he'd queried at the time, and the Shiba Inu people also sell flooring and tiling. The bloke who sold Cero was a large man with a salt-and-pepper zapata moustache. Ditto the Shiba Inu bloke. When honey tried to phone Cero's breeder, the number was dead, and the Shiba Inu people ask readers to note their new telephone number.

Circumstantial evidence points to these breeders being one and the same, as another reminder of this being a small and shrinking world. By the way, Cero is a looker (although he was cheap because his tail's too long and kinked), but what a pussy (i.e. wuss) and a daddy's boy. He hates sharing. Others say the same about Noushka and her hissy fits, but that's different.
