On my last fishing trip back in November, I put 8 spare spinning rod spools
SOMEPLACE, and probably figured "Hey...I'll remember where". I should've put
them in their normal place in the boat. They're someplace in my apartment,
the storage area in the cellar, or the garage where I keep my boat, but I've
turned over quite a bit of dust thus far, with no luck. Has anyone seen
them?

Between the couch cushions. In our house, it's higly probable that the
cat could have eaten them.

That's some cat. Does it attack dogs? If so, can I rent it?

Actually, yeah, he does. Not necessarily successfully, but he HATES dogs,
and his flight-or-fight instincts seem to be permanantly wired to
fight. He's definitely not a wimpy cat, unlike his sister. I wasn't
kidding about eating the spools of fishing line either, he has a fetish
for any kind of stringy stuff. Wire, dental floss, fishing line, strips
of paper from the shredder, shoelaces, rubberbands, etc. all have to be
locked away.

I need a cat like that. We have a dog problem in my neighborhood. Last time
I had a conversation with a dog owner about her animal digging in my garden,
the police showed up at my door. I'm not sure what the problem was, but I
suspect it was my comment: "Do you know what shark fishermen sometimes do
with the shark heads after they've butchered the sharks?" (In Montauk, they
used to hang them from the utility poles around the marinas). I think this
alarmed the dog owner. :-)

You don't have a dog problem, you have a neighbor problem. The two
options I see are 1- get a bigger meaner dog (or a pet alligator) or 2-
make friends with the dog so that it will follow you willingly when you
put it in your trunk to take it to the local pound. If you are going to
'disappear' the dog, which is a good Stalinist solution to the problem,
then don't mention it to anybody and wait a couple weeks so it won't be
obvious.

Dogs can't help being dogs, but they shouldn't be allowed to run loose
where they're not wanted. For one thing, getting hit by a car is the
usual fate and it's rather painful & cruel.

Sounds alot like my tom cat. When I built my house, the woods behind
had some feral cats in it, they'd **** on my porch and such. They
slowly moved away, because my watch cat would run them off of his
territory.

November? Did you hang them on the Xmas tree as ornaments?

Good guess! I found them. I have this dry box for the boat, for keeping
stuff like binoculars & first aid kit protected from water. It's got a
lift-out tray, and the spools are normally kept in that tray. The box lid
also has a little compartment for small objects, so you don't have to open
the whole box to get to those objects. The spools were in there. I probably
put them there, but I'm going to blame my son, since he's sleeping and can't
defend himself. :-)
