My name is Richard Parker and I like to stay on top of the news.
My favorite newspaper of repose is, of course, the Addison Independent.
I always go straight to the pet page. 
The animals featured by Homeward Bound, while not up to my pedigree, are all worthy of a loving home. 
The only problem with the Addie’s pet page — there are too many dogs! 
Otherwise, it is purrrrrrfect. 
Now for my nap.
