Coffee Shop Talk

(Editor’s Note: Each week, The Herald poses a “Question of the Week” on their facebook page with many responding. Comments made on the posts, may or may not be factual in nature and are to be noted as that person’s comment only.)

Each week The Herald will ask a random question, both on the opinion page of the weekly paper and on The Eureka Herald Facebook© page. Responses should be mailed to PO Box 590, Eureka, KS 67045, e-mailed to [email protected] with “Coffee Shop Talk” in the subject; dropped off at our office, 822 E. River, in Eureka or made on The Eureka Herald’s Facebook© page.

The “Question of the Week” for last week was: “If you could have any animal, real or mythical, as a pet, what would it be?”

Following are the responses: Avery McLean* - “I’d love to have a Tiger or a lion! They’re just big kitties!”

ML BurtOn* - “A dragon so I could take Kamea riding on it” Susan Epperson* - “An eagle. Their beauty and ability to survive and love, plus the fact they are important to our country.”

Kim Fogle* - “I would like to have a phoenix. They are believed to have healing properties in their tears, able to cure sickness and mend injuries.”

Karen Rushmore* “Capybara or however you spell it.”

Janet Weyrauch Harrington* - “I wouldn’t change. I would just keep having German Shepherd’s.”

Misty Arie* - “A unicorn” Susan Richling* - “Mini cow!!!”

Tricia Koop* - “A Dragon” Taylor Hunt* - “Falkor from The Neverending Story. No traffic, just smiles. Might be a pretty hefty dog food bill though.”

Msrjorie Morgan* - “A corgi, they are so sweet” Toni DeShane* “Unicorn” Kylee Overman* - “I would have a Ball Python again they are VERY docile and social reptiles. Often misunderstood as scary mean snakes, with the only understanding of the handler bringing them food. I built a bond with my last one and she would let me know when she wanted to come out of her tank and hangout with me. Despite how they look they are truly one of the cute, nice, and aware snakes i have ever been around. Even at 5ft they are gentle with people and still do silly things in their own legless ways!”

Do you have a recommendation for the “Question of the Week” please send it to Robin at [email protected], or stop by 822 E. River St., Ste 100, in Eureka.
