Hi Angie,
That is really funny and creative.  Did you write it? If so, you 
should consider making satire writing your career if it isn't 
already (smile).

>Virginia, April 10, 2009.



>The body of Mr.  Toy Octopus was discovered yesterday in his 
Charlottesville
>home under suspicious circumstances.



>"[Mr.  Octopus] was the least judgmental toy I ever knew," said 
Mr.  Stuffed
>Lamb, a close friend of the deceased.  "He welcomed everyone he 
met with at
>least two open arms."



>The cause of death remains unknown, but officials say evidence 
suggests
>homicide.  The prime suspect is one Yani Gg.  Shepherd, also
>ofCharlottesville.  Ms.  Shepherd, who works as a Seeing Eye dog 
for a law
>student at the university, was unavailable for comment.



>Glaze Y.  Labrador, Shepherd's roommate and a retired guide 
herself, has
>another theory: "I firmly believe Mr.  Octopus's demise was the 
unfortunate
>result of a botched squeakectomy," she stated in a press 
conference
>yesterday.  "Yani is young, and squeakectomies can be messy in 
the best of
>circumstances."



>Shepherd, whose owner is not yet licensed to practice law, is 
seeking legal
>representation.



>"Normally, she'd have a hard time finding an attorney who would 
work for
>kibble," said the labrador-poodle mix of a local defense lawyer, 
who wished
>to remain anonymous.  "But given the state of the economy, all 
bets are off."



>Meanwhile, the toys who knew Octopus continue to grieve.  Perhaps 
they can
>find some small comfort in the knowledge that their friend's  
rattle and
>squeaker were recovered and are suitable for transplantation.
