What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: IndyStar.
Chip DarnellIndy's Cutest Pet contest is down to its championship round, and it's Totoro, a talkative two-year-old cat, against Chloe, a thirteen-year-old dog, IndyStar reports.
Gloria VanceChloe's entry calls her the queen of the house. Thirteen years, no opposition, and no free press.
Chip DarnellAnd Totoro never stops talking! I love them both!
Gloria VanceA young challenger with a big mouth against an incumbent with a long record. Totoro has already promised everything.
Chip DarnellSo today's awards go to Totoro for most words per nap, and Chloe for thirteen seasons undefeated on the couch.
Gloria VanceI'd vote for experience. Thirteen years is a dynasty, Chip, and that is the only reason.
