Dogs chase cats. That’s what dogs do, besides licking their balls, catching frisbees and mauling infants. The catching frisbees bit about dogs is fine – as anyone who’s seen the opening credits to Flight of the Navigator will testify – but the rest of it I can do without. And whatever happened to Joey Cramer…?

He was like the Haley Joel of 1986. The last IMDb hears of him is this:

It’s My Party (1996) (uncredited) …. Party Guest

“Party Guest” – that’s the movie equivalent of playing 3rd donkey in a school nativity play. Poor Joey, it hasn’t been his party since 1987 when he played Willie opposite Buddy Ebsen in Stone Fox (tvm).

So yes, dogs. They chase cats…

A dispute between two Catoosa County neighbors Sunday night ended in a shootout with one man suffering gunshot wounds to the head and chest. According to Catoosa County Sheriff Phil Summers, Terry Dewitt McDaniel of 48 Mark Lane, shot his neighbor’s dog. He claimed the dog, which belonged to William Beyer of 93 Campbell Circle, was chasing his cat.

Summers said Beyer’s wife told him the dog had been shot and he got a handgun and went to McDaniel’s residence to confront him. “During the altercation, Mr. McDaniel and Mr. Beyer exchanged gunfire,” Summers said.

“During the altercation” they “exchanged gunfire” – ? – it makes it sound so civilized, like an incident that might happen in Lady Windermere’s Fan. Have you seen the 1925 Ronald Colman version? It’s got this amazing opening sequence with dogs leaping to catch frisbees.

Bed now.
