- My tubby Jeep loves to watch car races with me. He trys to swat
- the cars right off the screen. When the cars drive off the side
- out of view, he'll claw at the side of the set where the cars should
- be popping out! He also likes football games, I wonder if he'll
- ever catch one of those elusive three inch tall players... :)
