Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
How is MK doing?
He's being old. I have periods of really worrying about him, then he acts fairly normal for a cat of his age and circumstance. Need to warn the petsitter he's frailer than he was at Xmas. Sigh. We're due for another checkup in June. We're on a 6mo schedule with him given his age and feebletude.
Y'all are cute.
I don't know where it came from, but I am in a bad fucking mood. Kind of unfortunate.
Ugh, Burrell. Anything you can do to change it? Alcohol? Chocolate? An uninterrupted bath?
sara, give him a skritch behind the ears for me.
Will do. Scritches to Mister Guest-comatizing.
I hope Leo is doing better by morning, and can come home to you healthy and happy to be home, zenkitty.
What Perkins said, zenkitty. Much ~ma to you and Leo.
Mister Guest-comatizing
That really should be his name. He managed to get me to pet him without my even realizing it.
I am procrastinating on finishing the cleaning. It's just too many -ing's all at once, so I'll follow the first and hope the cats and dog (and DH) take care of the second and third.
I have a smart dog. Sigh. I actually found a small training treat that he paid attention to, but the minute he realized I was trying to use them to change his behavior, he stopped being interested.
On the other hand, his barking cut by about two-thirds as soon as I started opening the door and saying "quiet" firmly when he was just trying to make the dogs next door play or for the sake of barking. He was like, "Okay, I didn't realize you cared."
His efforts to make the dogs next door play are kind of sad. He's like the kid who never gets picked for recess.

Sorry to disappear on you. Putting kids to bed, then doing some email work.
I did consider each of those plans. Ate a bit of chocolate, decided that the last bath didn't fix the foul mood it was supposed to fix, so didn't try it this time. But the sugar--and the quiet probably--have helped a bit. Thanks.
And irises! I KNEW they looked familiar, but I've only ever seen them in photographs/paintings. Never in real life. And now they're in my YARD!
Oooh! Didn't you think they were ginger a few months ago? SO COOL FOR YOU!
I don't know if its all irises or just some, but they can have this purple juice/sap sorta thing on the that can up at the base of the flower. When I was a girl it always looked to me like the flowers were bleeding. Awesome.
IOW, my doors are always open to Buffistas.
Oh my that sounds wonderful.
