Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's crazy. I had been wondering when we would hit 3,000.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Lesson: even if you really have to pee, you can't race these cats up the stairs. They might try some new maneuver that gets between your feet and your footing.

I think your cats have been comparing notes with our Coco. His reaction whenever we get home is, "I'm so glad to see you. Here, let me get right up next to you so you trip over me, and feel so guilty that you pet me even MORE!"

Hope you're feeling better.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Cats are assholes. Noodle this morning was yelling at me from the time I opened my eyes to be fed. Excuse me for going pee, like I do EVERY MORNING, before I feed you.

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

Which feline is that, Lee

Dita. That's the closest she has willingly come to Charlie since he got here.

Bubba is all about getting into my foot space, so he gets stepped on a lot.

We tried walking Gunnar for the first time last night. It did not go well. He's a very strong dog and very easy to freak out. We made it about half a block before admitting defeat. It's going to take some time and small steps to get him walking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Huffingtonpost also has an article saying:

Majority Of Brits Would Be Happy If Royal Baby Turned Out Gay, Poll Finds

Really? The government hasn't even decided to pardon Turing or not, and the rest of the gay men tormented during the same period of buggery laws aren't even up for consideration. Yes, it's population versus government, but I'd love to see that "majority of Brits" put pressure on them for things like that, rather than playing make believe with an irrelevant person.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My A/C is getting replaced as I type. I let the men in, got the cats securedc in my bedroom with food water and litterbox and then came to work. Let's home the men do not ransack my home or steal anything (I did remove all working laptops). I will go back over at noon.

The alley cat has apparently picked me as his person now - when I went out for my walk this morning he hopped up on a transformer and meowed at me for food, and then was lounging under my car in the parking lot when I left for work.

Still hisses at me when he approaches the food dish as I'm filling it, but has no objection to being petted afterwards.
