It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am also up early today, but no one followed us home from our walk, so hopefully I won't be late.

I hope the nurse works out Kat!

Aw, that's one for Good Stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw! I would like a comfort dog.

The Vatican finally declares sex abuse illegal.

That's something...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I often tell Kato he could be a comfort dog, because he's so easygoing and happy. (I realize there's more to being a comfort dog than being easygoing, including very specific training for the therapy/comfort part, but he's such a chill guy that I always want to share the power of Kato with everyone.) (Although his death farts are the opposite of comforting.)

Lucy would have made a great comfort dog. Darby is more suited to a personal space/stop looking at me dog. They need those, right?

Actually, I think that would be great for someone who wants company, the presence of a dog, but doesn't want to have to pet/hug/skritch it. Just have a sympathetic dog in the room.

Kato does indeed dislike hugs as much as his mama does, bu he tolerates them because he loves skritches and knows they generally follow hugs.

Kato has to have his teeth cleaned tomorrow, and since he's close to 12, I'm a little worried about the anesthesia. He's ridiculously healthy, so he should be fine, but I worry. Our vet is superb, and I know he wouldn't have recommended the teeth cleaning if he thought Kato wouldn't be able to handle the anesthesia. But, you know, I worry.

The cat Toke also has to have her teeth cleaned tomorrow. I'm less worried about her, because she's fairly robust.

And the hilarious part is that Slinky, who is by far the oldest critter in the house, at almost 16, does NOT need her teeth cleaned because they are in fabulous shape. She could be the spokeskitty for kitty dental hygiene. They are clean and perfectly white, no tartar, no nothing.

She is eternal.

For anyone except me, Mr Peabody is more of a "why are you still here?" dog. He would be useful if students needed herding.

Maybe she should be introduced to Clovis.
