Breakfast at the Woodpile

Mom decided to hold a free breakfast at the Woodpile for all feathered friends and four pawed critters. Word of the event traveled faster than the speed of light over social media. The one thing that gets a critter’s attention faster than food, is FREE food.

I dropped by to take a few photos for the blog. After snapping a couple of dozen photos, I decided to check the lighting and other settings by reviewing the photos in the camera. As I was flipping the photos, I had a strong sense of deja vu. I swear I had seen these mug shots before. Chippy Jr. was looking over my whiskers at the photos, and said excitedly, “Hey dad, those look just the like the most wanted posters in the Post Office.”

I knocked on Mom’s door and asked where she had posted her announcement. She sheepishly acknowledged she didn’t know much about the internet and social media but had heard about something called facebook for humans. Assuming there was an equivalent service for critters, she did some searching on the net and found “critterbook, the darkside.” I had to explain to Mom that was a site on the critter dark web. She had just invited the entire criminal critter underground to a free breakfast!
