Diversifying

And the story goes like this ...

Once upon a time, there lived a crazy couple who thought it was feasible to haul three cats and three dogs (who did not get along with each other) from one end of the country to another in a minivan.   One of the dogs shall be called Lucky for short and one of the cats shall be called Faith.   The dog called Lucky has an obsession with cats.  He thinks about them day and night, dreaming and hoping against hope to catch one today or at the latest tomorrow.  He has no idea what to do with one if he catches it, but that's another problem for another time.

The crazy couple decided to leave the dog called Lucky:
 Alone with the cat called Faith:
while they packed up the minivan for another 600 mile trek from Point A to Point B.   Believing this to be his Magic Moment to catch a cat, Lucky set about the challenge of trying to figure out how to get into the hard plastic pet carrier in which Faith contentedly resided.  Faith believed that she was safe from Crazy Lucky, either because because of the strong plastic surrounding her, or because her name was, after all, Faith.  
Alas, when the crazy couple returned from their brief hiatus from these two furry friends, an equally brief tragedy had occurred.   While unable to open the carrier, Crazy Lucky did successfully roll it 180 degrees:
Whether Faith acquired a concussion or not, the crazy couple will never know.  Upon checking her from paw to paw, the couple only observed that she was appalled that something as icky and inferior as a dog had done this horrid thing to her.

But, unbeknownst to Crazy Lucky, the family had just diversified.   Prior, it was simply a non-denominational Christian family.   Now, on this fateful day, it had acquired a Holy Roller... how exciting is that?
