this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Teppy, does YOUR HUSBAND have a niece (or other relative) in the 5th grade named Chloe? If so she is in Casper's class at school.

Holy cow, YES! (It's a fair bet that anyone in this city with that last name is related to Tim.) She is a total cutie. We pretty much see that branch of his family only once a year, so "total cutie" is about as much as I know about her.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Anne, if you go with Halley you can say "Open the door, Hal" whenever you come home with your hands full. And you know the cat will secretly be saying "I can't do that, Dave", or at least not open the door.

Ooh, real world Tep-flea crossover! Awesome!

Love it!

Andi, you've recommended some different brands of cat food in the past, IIRC, but I can't find the post. Argh.

The little guy is on Purina One at the moment (Purina being a local company and subsidizing a LOT of the local shelters). I'm keeping him on it for a little while just to avoid too many shocks to his system, but I don't think it's necessarily the best choice long term.

Punishingly Intricate

yay! new kitty!!!

We're back from vacation and I'm trying to figure out how to reenter non-vacation society. I did go to the crazy big farmer's market under the highway this morning and maybe bought things that will mean we can eat at home this week. Time will tell!

The dog is completely worn out from her vacation at her foster mom's place. Hoping she's not completely bored with us when she recovers. That place is puppy central!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Anne, is your profile addy good? I can email you my schpiel on quality cat food.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All of the beets Jesse didn't have are roasted and stored in my freezer.

I, OTOH, have all of the butternut squash and misc. greens.

Insent, Anne.

Their lives are so short, and they give us so much love, so much joy. It is a challenge to keep the worries at bay, to enjoy them as they right in the moment, lest we smirch their presence with fear. This is my mantra when I hold a purring Harvey: I am holding you right now; right now I am holding you.
