HSI Foster Appreciation Day

HSI kindly threw a bash in honor of me, Perl, for helping with their foster dog program. I got to show off how I've trained my bipeds to give me treats on command. It's a sneeze command that does the trick; strange creatures, these bipeds.

I got to meet Batman and Connie and Stacy from this site, and of course they fawned over me. Oh, and they said hello to Beauregard and Lucky, too.

Beau was in fine form. There was a table with food and he jumped up on it (all four paws). Unfortunately, he landed right in front of the fruit, so he didn't get a chance to knock down the meatballs or cheese cubes or mini-quiches. And when he nearly landed in the fruit, he backed off like he was scared. Still, that's Beau; it was a fine effort nonetheless.

Thanks to everyone who came out to pay homage to me. And if you can tell me why sneezing pleases you so much, I'd like to know. I'm not complaining, mind, it's just that you bipeds are so odd.
