You could call in some favors with the trivia crew, or friends or neighbors, maybe.

Emmett and I would help if we were around, Ginger.

I started thinking about this because I realized at my mother's that Mr Peabody loves to curl up next to people on the couch. Then I thought that the den would be more comfortable with the the living room couch. The plan went on from there.

Yes, it's the dog's fault.

Well then start making him a little harness so he can haul stuff.

Heh. Hec just reminded me of when we moved once when I was about 9 or 10, to a house just around the block. In order to cut the cost of the movers, I swear my mom had every kid in the neighborhood hauling stuff over in wagons and bike baskets. Like, for days, this caravan of 8 to 10 year olds schlepping books and lamps around the corner.

He can certainly pull on a leash hard enough. Maybe I could hitch him to a mover's dolly.

Happy new year to all

we watched the BBC version of P and P last night. One of the best NYE ever.

Cats will never help you move furniture

Now I know why last night's moon was blue...

Big blue ball in the sky.

Cats will never help you move furniture

But they will mock you while you do it. Unless they are stuck under it, and you are in the process of rescuing them. In which case they will be too thoroughly discombobulated to mock. And then a few minutes later, they will attempt to get back under it.

Not that Daniel has had to lift the sofa off of Sammie today or anything....

Here you go: dog powered scooter!

G'morning. Israel is beautiful. My mental health is taking a bit of a bashing (along with the physical - I am exhausted from all the stairs I had to do yesterday). Having a morning at home while The Girl's family goes to see their grandparents. I was invited, but I can't cope with another day being referred to as her "friend from London." Despite that, The Girl's immediate family are (mostly) working hard at being nice to me. I am totally avoiding twitter and Facebook, as the Brits have all seen Doctor Who and I won't see it until tonight!

Ginger, do the furniture reorganizing thing! I love doing that. The Girl wasn't using her office space in the spare room, so I moved her into the living room and my desk and life went into the spare room. Was fun and we both get our work done better now. The Girl has a system where she makes scale models from paper to make sure all the furniture will fit into new places/rooms. This comes from our history of having moved every six months for the past few years. When moving, we need to know whether we can fit the digital piano into that tiny space by the window. Usually we manage it.

Scrappy, congrats on the empty shelves. :)

smonster, can you ask a vet what to do about the cat? There must be people who know how to deal with this problem. I hope it sorts itself out, in the meantime!

In the continuing cat pee chronicles, the little fucker has branched out into spraying my backpack

ION- if you want a good eye ball cleaning, watch the HBO flick "Taking Chance". Thanks to it, I'm outta tissues.
