I love all the animal pictures! It's nice to have the mental image for when people talk about their pets.

Jeeves has always been much more cute than handsome. I think he knows how to turn up the cute when he wants something.

Bev, I miss the ttcats too. Now I have to torture everyone here with my cattales.

edit: Jeeves IS cute. I can see him doing handsome, though.

Even if one farted every time he picked her up.

Kat's bro had a NINETY pound basset. Named Turbo. I'll bet she farted a lot.

I think Maceo is handsome, but Kat thinks he's just irritating. But he keeps himself at a healthy weight because he has to climb the 6ft wooden fence if he wants to go out of the yard to play. And because his food is up in a cubby hole in a 5ft cat tree so the poopers won't eat it.

I still have some Gus Pong stories stashed around here somewhere.

Was Gus Pong one of the Dogs in Elk?

I think ima teach him sign language over the phone. THAT IS HOW ADVANCED HE IS.

Owen and I are starting sign language class next week.

My friend's minature American Eskimo won't go outside without her Muttluks on in the winter. She rolls over on her back and sticks her feet up in the air so J can put them on. Hi-larious.

Kat's much more a dog person, isn't she? (that said without judgement. I know I'm much more a cat person. I like dogs just fine, but have much less patience with them.)

Heh. I'm remembering her amusedly rolling her eyes and dragging you away from Mister Kitty. heh.

Owen and I are starting sign language class next week.

Ohhhh, let me know how that works out.

Was Gus Pong one of the Dogs in Elk?

Yep. Him and his basenji-mix buddy Jake.

t eta Cash, that is too freakin' funny about the rolling-over dog!

Amarna has put on a few pounds in the 10 months since I got her; she definitely has a bit of a gut on her now. Last month, I had run out of cat food so I had to stop by the Walgreens and get what they had available, which was just the regular Iams, not the weightloss formula I'd had her on since last summer. She loves that food, so when I was able to get the weightloss version at the store and put her back on it, she spent the first few days scattering as much of the food on the floor as she did eating it, in protest. She's resigned now, though, especially since she's not getting as much as she used to. I really want to see her lose at least a quarter of that paunch before her one-year anniversary with me at the end of March. (I'm dieting, too!)

Kat's much more a dog person, isn't she?

Yep again. And yet? 'twas her idea to get the kitten.
