We'll find out as soon as she comes down from on top of the kitchen cabinets. I vacuumed...

Oh dear. Vacuums are quite distressing to felines.

I kept clicking on various cat sounds videos and after one with a very pissed off cat, Harvey came rocketing down from sleeping upstairs and jumped up to get between me and the computer.

Conclusion: I got the best one.

I knew it. YAY!

Howze he sleeping smonster?

Brenda your hair looks great!

So I had an adventure tonight in bad food, good food, and my car battery dying.

Dad came to my rescue and got me home, tomorrow he's going to jump my car and I'll go in seek of a new battery.

And my sister in law is in the hospital. She either has a very serious UTI or appendicitis or both. The walk in place she went to wasn't sure and told her to go to the hospital ASAP.

So she's there, and tomorrow my brother and the intern are going to have to shoot a wedding.

My SIL doesn't get sick a lot and her mother is one of those anti modern medicine people so she's really naive when it comes to medical stuff and she gets scared and freaked out when she's seriously sick.

brenda, your cut is super cute!!! I finally got to see it.

{{{askye}}} Good heavens, you've had quite the day. ~ma to your SIL.

askye, I hope they get it sorted out quick. ~ma for your SiL.

bonny, just fine. He doesn't dig the crate yet and he whined a little last night but not for long. Other Frankie no likeys include the car and large dogs, so we have have some work to do. Walks like a champ, though, and socialized with all kinds of people well, including a small rambunctious child.

Instant dog person. I want to take him everywhere and show him off. We just got back from a long walk downtown and he's lying quietly on the floor a few feet away.

By the way, I've been distracted again, i keep meaning to enumerate all the hugs and well wishes I wanted to give out to everyone here, and a blanket hub seems weak, but here goes.

Still weak, but I'm sincere about it.

ION:

I'm making brownies for Windsparrow. She has to work until 10 PM because someone got sick at work.

It's just Betty Crocker brownie mix, but i've made some minor modifications.

- Instead of four tablespoons water, I used four tablespoons cheap imitation vanilla extract.

- I added 1/4 cup cocoa or so and some more moisture to make it more chocolately.

Smells good cooking...

smonster, you can try getting him used to the crate by just leaving the door open and putting a toy or treats in there for him. Same thing when you put him in it to leave him in there -- you could designate a favorite toy that only goes with him in the crate.
