I was watching old SNL episodes and Toonces came on and I immidiately thought that these two ought to get together and collaborate. I don’t know why but it seems so natural. A two-legged dog and a cat who could drive a car.

That could explain plausibly how Halvsie became Halvsie, the two-legged dog.  
Toonces is a really bad driver.

I’ve seen a two-legged cat (accident victim) on Animal Planet.

\<rummages through LPs for Monty Python albums, cues up _Eric the Half a Bee_ sketch\>

This is a cat license with the word “cat” crossed out and “half a dog” written in crayon.

A good friend of mine had a 3-legged dog in the house.  
Anyway, she gets things confused sometimes, and would tell  
people that he was a ONE-legged dog, sort of a dyslexic  
count-the-legs-missing-instead-of-the-ones-left type thing.  
Man, it was so funny. She couldnt figure out why people  
were dying to come see this one-legged dog who apparently got around just as well as a fully equipped one!  
🙂
