This is a video of a homeless man in Santa Barbara and his pets. They work State Street every week for donations. The animals are pretty
well fed and are mellow. They are a family. The man who owns them rigged a harness up for his cat so she wouldn't have to walk so much (like the dog and himself). At some juncture the rat came along, and so no one wanted to eat anyone else, the rat started riding with the cat and often, on the cat. The dog will stand all day
and let you talk to him and admire him for a few chin scratches. The mayor of Santa Barbara filmed this clip and sent it out as a Christmas
card.

I can vouch that it's true, I've seen them in person a few times :-)

The animals are so calm.

BOOM, that is so funny, I was so busy last week with Rog having his right knee operated on and playing Nurse Karen again that I didn't have a lot of time to check out BT and didn't see it...
:-)

We're just thinking alike Karen.... I think it's an awesome video. Kind of freaked me out the first time I saw them walking along State Street.

Jerry, the beer did the trick :-)
