Excuse my ignorance, but what would a dog want with Ron anyway? Inquiring minds need to know... Ron can't see this can he, being held captive and all?..

The dog actually is just using the Ron to get at us emotionally so we will give in to the ransom demands....so the REAL question is "What do we want with a Ron anyway?"





P.S. Don't worry Fly, if Ron is heald captive he can't see any of this.

I'm a little confused. Is the ransom payment intended to save Ron from the indignity, or...?
Regards,
Matt
P.S. I don't have any chuck roast, but can you take PawPal?

All in favor of refusing the ransom, lift your leg... I mean raise your hand.

TreeBay... I think we are trying to save him from a fate worse than death... heheh

Pat... Yikes! We'd best think of a way to keep the puter on in this crisis.

Barry... awwwwwwww come on... giving up already?? Don't forget the goal... save the trees... THEN save Ron... (of course I am ignoring the fact that Terrible Terry is not threatening the trees...lol)


Yours,

To all my bonsai friends out there.

The ransom was paid this afternoon by my dear wife. I am now a free man.

I thought it was a nice thing for her to do. She normally doesn’t get involved in these kind of things.

When I asked her why, she mumbled something about the grass needed mowing and don’t forget to take out the trash. Not sure what that means. I just wanted to know why she paid the ransom. Damn weird answer if you ask me.

She also said something about Terrible Terry coming back for me in the morning. Also mumbled something about a 10 lbs. chuck roast that I am to give him.

I am confused but free.

My leg is a bit wet but it will heal.

Ron

PS Found out that dog food tastes terrible but, much better than my first wife’s cooking
