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. — Elizabeth Sutton, Middlebury
