Mickey's Musings

Wow

Saturday night we had a table set up for the rescue at an event where dogs were welcome to attend and bring their owners. We met a nice dog named Norton and his owner informed us that he was named after Ed Norton (Honeymooner's character, not the actor). I jokingly asked if there was a Ralph. "No", the man informed me, "We have another dog, but her name is Lulu." "Lulu? Wasn't that the name of Ed Nortons' dog?" I asked. The man looked at me for a minute as if I'd spoken in a foreign language. "Was it?" He finally asked. "Yeah....at least I think so, it was trivia question recently...yes, I'm pretty sure it is". I suggested that he look it up on the internet. I just did myself.

Ed ends up sleepwalking again. He pushes Ralph over to get the key, opens the door, comes back in (for a banana) and goes back out.

Ralph decides to call a Doctor to find out what is wrong with Norton. The Doctor gives Norton truth serum because he believes that Norton is searching for something. The Doctor finds out that when Norton was younger he had a dog named Lulu. He lost her at Coney Island after she went after a cocker spaniel in the Tunnel of Love. So Trixie gets Norton a dog (Lulu the second) and his sleepwalking problem is over.
