Humphrey's real job is movie star. You can see his little red-and-white butt
in a couple of shots in this Hush Puppies commercial:

But Humphrey's favorite job is Central Park Stick Relocation Installation
Artist. He picks up a stick, carries it a few feet, then drops it in a new
location. Repeat, repeat, repeat. We walk across the park twice a day so
that's a lot of sticks moved. He says he's working on his opus, a lifetime
installation project called "Living Nature."

Professor Bix, our senior St. Bernard/Akita mix, has the job of Vet
Head-Scratch Inducer. He's had surgery on both knees, has gastritis and
'advanced' pancreatitis, which is kind of a silly name for it, since he
doesn't HAVE a pancreas - he got sick while the boyfriend's parents (Bix's
'real' owners) were away on vacation, the pet sitter couldn't figure out why
Bix would eat and eat and still be hungry. Poor guy lost 30 lbs and went
through 4 vets before they realized his pancreas had dissolved completely.
That's under control now, he eats a special diet with pig enzymes so he can
digest his food, and he's generally fit and happy. But anyway, he's now
giving the vet head-scratches becaus he's got weird scaly patches all over
now, like hot spots, or calluses or scabs, but incredibly itchy. So he's
doing his job.



We send lots of drool to all in need, especially Norm's dad, Doheny,
good-luck drool for Susan and Laffy Taffy, and no-more-pancreatitis drool
for Llewis. Llewis, you read about Professor Bix's pancreatitis above, you
stop messing around and get better, man.

- Rebecca, Humphrey, & Bix
