Fourth. I've had to get IV antibiotics a couple of times from infected cat bites and scratches -- occupational hazard of volunteering at an animal shelter.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Thrive to spite them
Matthew's mom has been telling me that Penny has been chasing ground squirrels and I've been thinking she's never going to catch a squirrel.
Except she meant chipmunk and today one was on the porch and Penny zoomed out and caught it and then wandered around the yard in a confused manner for a few minutes
I hate that she killed the chipmunk but we can't keep her inside all the time becausepp going outside is her relief from being bullied by Scrappy. We will just try to scare off the wildlife hanging in the open part of the yard first.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm sure Penny is only catching the ones who deserve to die.

Two of our furloughed workers are coming back to my team! Hooray!

And my friend that was laid off just texted that she is starting a new job. Yay!

Our Kit Kat had a run in with a rabbit this week. She had a bad scratch on her foreleg and one on her back leg. I washed out the wounds and she seemed normal. This is the first time she's ever came back with battle wounds. She should stick to voles.

I'm always reminded of "Cold Comfort Farm" - the water voles will get you!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hatta tends to take out mourning doves - we found a little cemetery behind the bushes. If I ever see a bluebird I'm going to have to consider grounding her.

No worries Beverly, I habitually carry antibacterial Wet Ones wipes in my pocket and swabbed the punctures out almost as soon as they were made. Then washed my hands well and applied Neosporin once I returned home.
My World Lit professor in college had her forearm swell up like a frankfurter from a cat bite and had to have it lanced, so I've always been aware of how dangerous those can be.
