Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Meeting with the VP went fine, as we all knew it would.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hey, check out the cool pic of our friend Andy at work on "The Green Hornet" [link]

He and his wife Heather are the people we go to the movies with just about every week, and have done so for the last decade. Just wonderful friends and people.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I've chipped Nathaniel. I live in a neighborhood where pets get dumped. Most strays get scanned around here -- there are so many. and I'm amazed at the number that don't have chips. It isn't that costly and that was the least disturbing part of what happened to Nathaniel that day ( he was sticked , chipped and clipped )

In the case of dogs, they are sort of single minded and they can get distracted

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Our old vets' office made it a practice to scan new patients. They didn't bother, of course, with pets they'd seen before, but in case someone had taken in a stray or lost pet, they just scanned on the first visit. There was some pet stealing in town, some of it for bait animals, but some of it was not wanting to pay for a purebred pet.

Honestly, while that's sick, I think it's better than people who buy or adopt a dog--or have a puppy foisted on them--buy a 10'x10' chainlink pen and a fiberglass igloo, stick the dog in it and go out once a day to pour dry food in the bowl and fill up the water dish. Dog doing life for the owner's crime of ignorance.

Happy birthday, shrift!

Santa Pony - bay version.

Clearly, minis are for the amusement of their owners.

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

he thinks she's cuter that way

He's not really a pet person. I'm not sure what he's looking for out of an animal, but it doesn't really seem practical.

hip deep in pie

My cats aren't chipped. I am a little dubious about putting something like that under the skin. Also, they don't go outside unsupervised.

Clio was just settling down beside me when Oz came along and reached across my legs and took a swipe at her. Oz pretty well down to the basement on his own, because he knew he was in trouble.
