I've seen a few foxes randomly, in neighborhoods. They have a snappy little gait.
Yay for a good day on multiple job fronts!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That piece is great, and has reminded me that I need to borrow his memoir from Emmett.
(Sorry, Jess, I know he has been an indefensibly pure-d Dick at times, but when he's being sober and seriously thoughtful his brain just kind of bowls me over.)

she NEEDS another cat.
NO I DO NOT.
I'm already running a kitty hospice for the most anti-cat cat ever.
I like Pug. He's a sweetie. I want him to get a good new home. I think he'd hate my indoors only cat-rule and my cat-friendly cats and I DON'T NEED ANOTHER CAT NOW.

Technically, the largest feral animals I've seen in a residential area was the herd of bison in San Francisco. Visited them with Hec.
We really should have some sports team named the San Francisco Bison.
I've seen deer plenty of times. No whales. Dolphins a few times. Sea turtles. Sharks, alligators. (Florida childhood.)
The only time that was really startling though was coming across a wild pig in the redwoods of Northern California. We surprised each other on the path.

I frequently startle bunnies when I'm out walking. It's like they all think I want to make Hasenpfeffer or something.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Being startled is a big component of the bunny lifestyle.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
She doesn't need another cat. Except when I stay over, because they all pile into bed with me. Sara shouldn't be lonely.
(What?)

I am just saying, that's a giant ass cat. It would have freaked me out if it were in my yard.
I feel like if I'm going to be killed (which to be clear, I have no reason to think is the case) I want it to be by something like that.
In news of animals who will not (probably) kill me, I am fostering a chihuahua puppy this weekend and they want me to tell them his name. I haven't met him! How do I know his name? I will be looking for suggestions this weekend.
(Also, in my house, chihuahua has 5 syllables in proper Les Nessman style.)

Maybe his name is Les Nessman?
