No, it's a muskrat. Teeny said that she liked the Captain and Tenille and it reminded me of the song "Muskrat Love".

I loved the Love Boat and Fantasy Island. I didn't like the chick that replaced Tattoo though. She just looked too weird in that white suit.

The Partridge Family was so groovy. And they were great musicians, too. :-)

You don't really think that I believe that the Partridges were great musicians do you?

Newp....I'd rather be a bass player in a very funky R & B rhythm section in hell than in heaven with any guitar band you choose to name....Lenny Williams or David Ruffin as front man, please.....

Never liked funk, my friend. I do love 1960s Motown though!
