You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Because books.

Still need to rewatch The Two Horse Job to see what I missed there.

How sad that you'll need to watch Eliot having sex again, then. Poor you.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Ha maybe we should all write books on our pets, the wonder pet series. I could write the adventures of Syl and Oz the wonder fatty fat cats with occassional nap interruptions by mac the wonder child.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I love that about Mona sitting backwards. Hilarious.

When the Biscuit was learning to walk on lead and sit when we stopped, for a while he would sit directly in front of you, instead of primly at your left. So then it was almost impossible to start him out again correctly without doing a little dance of tripping over the dog.

He quickly got the hang of it, although I have some remedial training to do since he has recently concluded that D. is the alpha dog and that Seabiscuit & I are equal subordinates to D. and therefore he doesn't have to listen to me.

My nephew, when he was about 5 or 6, made a book about my cat Pico called, "Pico Finds a Home."

So I bought some things on Etsy yesterday, using Paypal, which I rarely use. I also discovered that Paypal still had my old address listed as my home address, but my current address was included in the account, so I updated that. Today I get an email from Paypal saying they've limited access to my account because they suspect a third party has accessed it. I guess it's good that they're being anal, but is it really suspicious to make an address already listed in the account the home address, and delete the old one? @@

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do wonder about my cat's backstory -- he apparently has been in at least one fight, that fucked up his ear, aside from his psychological quirks...

Punishingly Intricate

I've always wondered about my dog too. He wandered into my friends' backyard from a very busy street surrounded by a park/woods. He'd been living rough, was very matted and muddy and very, very skinny. We always thought he was on the older side but he's been with me now for 12 years so he mustn't have been that old. His book would be about how he likes to hang out at at the track and smoke stogies and how he's always wandering around looking for his hat.

The status is NOT quo.

Heh. I've thought about writing Byron's story. My mom told me she thought I should given how many places we've lived and how much trouble he gets into. In some ways he's the Marley of cats. Have I mentioned that his latest trick is that he's figured out how to scale the 8-foot walls in our backyard, which we fenced in specially for him after the amputation last year? My three-legged cat, the escape artist. The yard looks so classy right now, let me tell ya. ND's nailed plywood along the top to try to contain him, but now he's found another way out. I swear the cat is smarter than either of us.

Cats are impossible to contain! I wonder about Pico...he gottrapped in my boss' house when she went away, and when she returned, she couldn't find anyone to claim the cat. But he was a perfectly clean white cat, it certainly doesn't seem like he was on the streets.

Man, Paypal has emailed the Esty vendors I bought things from yesterday and claimed that I have filed a dispute against them! I just got an email from one of them saying, "What did I do? how can I clear it up?" I am so pissed. I wonder if I can get a person at Paypal right now.

Heh,I did a double take because I have a cat named Marley!

Oh, man. Oh, Byron. Way to overcompensate, dude!
