It's Been Hot Out!

Keeping in mind that Timmothy writes these cartoons a month in advance it's amazing how often he is spot on when mentioning the weather. The last three days Minot has set record high temperatures each day. The normal highs for early May is in the 60's but we have been in the upper 90's. That being said the forecast for the rest of this week will be below normal with even the possibility of frost over night. Personally, after a long winter, I like the 90's. 

I'm going to turn this back to a subject often discussed here which is first time home owners often run out and get that pet they have always wanted since childhood.

The rule in the Timm household is before an animal, or new breed of animal enters the house a book MUST be read so that the quirks and care of the animal is understood. Doing this makes for a better life for your new pet and in some cases it may alleviate an unnecessary veterinary call. ie did you know that guinea pigs will lose their teeth on occasion and grow new ones? Knowing that they are gnawing animals it can be scary thinking "oh no, he is going to starve to death".

 

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.
