Hollyhood Critters

<p>We're full is the go-to response whenever another homeless injured or wayward animal shows up at Laura and Mike's doorstep. Even so the couple realizes their declaration never hinders the parade of rescues through their small home in a hectic city.</p><p>Mike named their gaggle of pets the Hollyhood Critters. There's Cally the wise yet shifty calico cat; Tsali the overtly anxious sock-obsessed Bichon; Coco the delusional smart-mouthed toy Poodle; Simboss the rash-covered smelly Maine coon cat; and Chilly the timid yet observant and vocal Guinea pig.</p><p>Sometimes they listen to Mike and Laura barking meowing or chittering responses. Nevertheless these pets talk to each other through telepathic Critter Speak which also works with new arrivals and wild animals. The pack stays up to date on the adventures upstairs in the basement and backyard as well as those beyond the fence. Some critters escape to their hideouts or go on walkabouts through the greater 'hood in the dark forest at the litter-filled creek or throughout the sprawling horse farm.</p><p>Unusual as usual the Hollyhood Critters are full of chaosity and ang-zide-ness especially during the ongoing battle over Laura's ever-prized oft-missing yellow argyle sock with fringe around the ankle. Even with that all the critters agree they are a family in a forever home and the pack is right!</p>
