You stand him next to me and he looks like me. You stand him next to his mom and he looks like her. You put him between us and it's like one of those optical illusion cards.
There's an enormous banner here in Cincy on the side of one of the buildings downtown, of Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo. The way the picture is taken, with his sandy long-hair sticking out from under his hat, and the way the hat is shading part of his face, and his little almost-smile, that reminds me so much of Emmett, both physically and in terms of attitude, that it spooks me every time I drive by it.
Although I see that Emmett has given up his long hair for now.
Emmett and Matilda are adorable, both apart and together, but the together is exponential.
I'm waiting for the washers to be free. Three loads to do. Bah.
Got a feliway room diffuser. Totally not sure if it'll make any difference, but what the hell. Any bit helps. Found cheaper food for Loki. And Mister Kitty is certain it is made of catfood gold. Sigh. It's pretty much the same ingredients and their fancy-ass-picky-stomachs-pancreas-crazy-expensive stuff, but aparently is more desireable... Figures.
Will MK turn up his nose at fancy food, too?
I've found that Amarna is rather unusual in that she really only likes dry kibble. Gooshyfood does nothing for her, not even tuna, although she does love tuna water.
Hey, is it possibly Sail's birthday?
Tomorrow, babe, but I'll take any prezzies offered early!
despite knowing my last name, which is obviously German, asked me several times whether I was Puerto Rican.
I don't know that it's large, but there is a definite German presence on the island. One of my coworkers year ago had a very Spanish last name with a very German first name. Wikipedia says the Royal Decree of Graces 1815 opened up immigration to any European looking for a little free land as long as they swore loyalty to Spain and converted to Cathlocism. Later decrees even eliminated the conversion requirement. The population of PR went from 155,000 to around one million between 1800-1900. Most of the non-Spanish immigrants were Irish, Scottish, French and German.

MK will still eat his stuff. But he REALLY wants Loki's food. He's on a special diabetic food.
All the cats are on dry stuff. Wet stuff is reserved for emergencies.
You put him between us and it's like one of those optical illusion cards.
And thus you have described my parents and my brother and me.
Minor grump of the day: why do people bid so high on Ebay? Current price on a used item I bid has exceeded the undiscounted retail of price of new one. Several others have sold for comparable prices.
I think aurelia is right. It's all about the chase.
I just voted in my municipal election ONLINE! Also, I found out during voting that my crazy, crazy, batshit crazy former co-op neighbor was running for School Board. God help us all if she wins.
