What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

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.

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.

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.

We just got a school directory today, is how I knew. (Also, their teacher's last name is Bidlingmeyer - possibly even more German! Also I know a Berghausen family. I like to think of you now as Teppy Bidlingmeyer-Berghausen. Von Strauss. Just so you're forewarned.)
