It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
After staying up late to take a stool sample from a cat that normally goes at 11 pm, I fell asleep and can't tell which cat went between 6:30 am and 8 am. Now I'm exhausted because of cat poo!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Fluorescent puppy is world's first transgenic dog
A cloned beagle named Ruppy – short for Ruby Puppy – is the world's first transgenic dog. She and four other beagles all produce a fluorescent protein that glows red under ultraviolet light.
A team led by Byeong-Chun Lee of Seoul National University in South Korea created the dogs by cloning fibroblast cells that express a red fluorescent gene produced by sea anemones.
Lee and stem cell researcher Woo Suk Hwang were part of a team that created the first cloned dog, SnuppyMovie Camera, in 2005. Much of Hwang's work on human cells turned out to be fraudulent, but Snuppy was not, an investigation later concluded.
This new proof-of-principle experiment should open the door for transgenic dog models of human disease, says team member CheMyong Ko of the University of Kentucky in Lexington. "The next step for us is to generate a true disease model," he says.

How the hell did we ever get along without fluorescent beagles?

I have a worrying feeling that this is somehow going to end in Laser Cats.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, is Sue (or any other Canadian) around? I'm trying to find some general information about federal funding for nonprofits, and it's haaaard! Any ideas?

This was me yesterday. Stupid cat poo.

“Not dead yet!”
Hee! My husband and I are dorks. After two years, we're finally putting a screen enclosure around our patio. I said Happy Father's Day-- then I said I wanted to put in a new ceiling fan because the one that's out there is just bleah. He said Happy Mother's Day. Which is fine by me. Who needs roses or brunch out? I'm gettin' a ceiling fan!
