I GOT TO HANG OUT WITH GARFIELD. JIM DAVIS MADE HIM BEHAVE. EVER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER, ELWOOD HAS BEEN ASKING FOR A CAT. JUST TO MAKE HIM HAPPY I ASKED JIM DAVIS IF ELWOOD COULD SPEND SOME TIME WITH GARFIELD. AFTER A FEW WEEKS WITH GARFIELD ELWOOD HAS NEVER AGAIN ASKED FOR A CAT. THANKS JIM! |

| HE LET ME BE A CLOWN WITH "RINGLING BROTHER'S" CIRCUS. CENTER RING IS REALLY COOL. SOME YEARS BACK WE WROTE TO “TOTO” THE CLOWN AND ASKED IF HE COULD SHOW ELWOOD AROUND THE CIRCUS. HE NOT ONLY SHOWED HIM AROUND, BUT HE PUT HIM TO WORK IN THE CENTER RING AS A CLOWN. ELWOOD DID FIVE PERFORMANCES AND TWO MATINEES. HE CAN STILL SMELL THE GREASE PAINT. |

THIS IS BRIAN JACQUES AND HIS BROTHER. WE'RE HAVING TEA. MR. HAND HAS READ ME ALL HIS BOOKS ABOUT MARTIN THE WARRIOR AND MOSSFLOWER. EVERY YEAR ELWOOD SITS WITH THE REST OF THE CHILDREN WHILE I READ ALOUD THE MOSSFLOWER BOOKS BY BRIAN JACQUES. ONE DAY HE UP AND DECIDED TO MEET HIM. ELWOOD SPENT THE SUMMER WITH THE JACQUES AND TRAVELED ABOUT MERRY OLD ENGLAND. EVER SINCE THEN, HE HAS HAD A DECIDED ACCENT. |

| FAVORITE PLACES. IF YOU CAN'T SLEEP WITH A TEDDY BEAR, A KOALA IS THE NEXT BEST THING. GEORGEANNE IRVINE OF THE SAN DIEGO ZOO HAS A SOFT SPOT IN HER HEART FOR ELWOOD. HE HAS VISITED HER IN SAN DIEGO AND SHE HAS TAKEN HIM ON VACATION IN AUSTRALIA. WHERE EVER THEY GO GEORGE MAKES SURE HE ALWAYS HAS A FRIEND TO KEEP HIM COMPANY WHILE SHE DOES ZOO BUSINESS. THIS LITTLE GUY AND ELWOOD HIT IT OFF RIGHT AWAY. |

WHEN THE SAN DIEGO ZOO NEEDS A GOOD ANIMAL TRAINER TO DELIVER A LEOPARD, THEY CALL ON ME. MANY, MANY YEARS AGO ELWOOD WAS ALLOWED TO MEET A PLANE LANDING WITH A NEW ARRIVAL. THE BABY LEOPARD WAS EXCITED TO HAVE A FRIEND. I'M NOT SURE ELWOOD WAS AS EXCITED, BUT HE HELPED TO CALM DOWN THE YOUNG ONE. I'VE HEARD OF CAT IN THE HAT, BUT NOT IN THE FACE! |
