Fennec's pose kept reminding me of something, that graceful stretch of arm...

I love the very long nose that Gadjo is developing.



Sleeping next to the cat grass. Maybe it keeps his head cool in this hot summer?

With help from The Husband and from the Apple Store, I have a new hard drive in my computer and am (mostly) now back in business. Did you miss me?

...Or did you, rather, miss the animolecules?

It has been so awfully hot here. Very ready for fall.


Fresh catnip (it grows outside).

Those of you who know me know how much I detest insects, spiders, creepy-crawlies in general.

I was out on the deck the other day and saw the animolecules all staring at something that was crawling on the dog bed. One of the most disgusting bugs ever--like a mutant wasp or something. I knew photographic evidence would be required. Fortunately, the animolecules showed good sense and didn't get too close.

Shudder.

Oh, for crying out loud...

The hard drive on my computer died yesterday. It may take a while before I get it all together again to be able to upload photos and post, etc. Don't go too far away! :)

Want some unsolicited advice? Never go into business with your spouse, especially if your marriage is already faltering, especially if you have major financial troubles already. It won't be pretty.

...But cats are pretty.

I ate one of these raspberries the other day. They were growing in an alley near our house. Man, was it sour! I don't know why. It looked ripe.

Fennec is getting soooo big. In a couple of days I'm taking him to the vet for his last vaccination. Can't wait to see how much he weighs.

Why is Gadjo sitting patiently beside this beat-up old rug?



Because he knows there's something inside it.
