Happy Anniversary, Beverly.
You all have convinced me, and I think I am going to head to the nursery to finally buy plants.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Timelies all!
Happy Birthday sj!
Happy anniversary Beverly!
All this gardening talk reminds me that I'm gonna have to do some research after we move into the townhouse. There's some plants in the small backyard which I don't know what they are.(I only got a brief look at them and don't remember a thing) I'll need to find out what they are, and how much work they require.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is a thought, Perkins. If I went into Home Depot, would they be able to tell me what I need for a window box?

Ann, that's a ferret.
On the cat front --
We took Max to a grooming yesterday. His chest and stomach were very badly matted. Unfortunately, the groomer gave him a "lion cut." Basically, this means that his body was shaved, except for his face, tail, and the area around his paws.
This, on a very long-haired Himalayan. He's much smaller than he was.
He's very upset. His twin sister, Marie, doesn't even recognize him and has hissed at him a few times.
We keep telling ourselves it'll grow back.

Happy Anniversary, Bev and DH!
I am now off in search of salmon-free pizza.

Aw, poor Max!
My friends' Pomeranian got a summer haircut that somehow makes him look bigger. I guess it's because you can see now that he does have the proportions of a big dog, and isn't just a puff ball.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It will indeed grow back, Fred. In the meantime, if his sister's still hissing, run your hands through their dry food and pet him, then do it again and pet his sister. This will make them both smell familiar and associated with something pleasant, although not actually foodlike in themselves.
Er, if they eat only wet food, I got nothin'.
Jesse, it's late in the season, but someone in the H&G department at HD should be able to help you. Ask the other H&G people who you should talk to. Usually there's someone working in that department because they know their stuff. The rest are just there on rotation or something.
Hee. Thanks guys. I do get a little lyrical about the herbs. But the reward on a hot summer day of a bouquet of herbal scents is payment for watering and picking up dead leaves and spent flowers. One nice thing about pot gardening is the lack of weeding. We do have a pot of mixed pink petunias and three hibiscus: double apricot, single red and single red-throated yellow for color. But I love the scents, myself.
Okay, time to go be anniversary-ish.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Er, if they eat only wet food, I got nothin'.
Similar trick, actually. If they only eat wet food, brew up some catnip tea (just catnip and hot water -- nothing fancy), let it cool, and then mist Max with it.
