Health Crisis Strikes, One Victim

Never before in the history of the world has there been such a health crisis. The Plague, Scurvy, SARS and the Avian flu are nothing compared to what Clifford endured this past weekend. Sneezing, runny eyes and a snotty nose. That's right, the common cold. Poor Clifford was unable to eat chicken and bacon prepared just for him, or to have a refreshing beverage from the bathtub tap.

Was medical care available for Clifford? No, none whatsoever. Dr. Destiny is off work and no appointments were available at the clinic. He had to overcome this devastation all on his own.

Fear not, Clifford is on the road to recovery. This morning he ate not only his own breakfast, but most of Ralphie's too, followed by a long leisurely drink in the bathtub.

This medical miracle will be documented in medical journals for years to come. Newsweek magazine has already asked permission to print photos of Clifford at the tap, on the road to recovery.

Such strength and greatness. This is the reason his is, and will always be boss of the family.
