It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I have a fountain too, and recommend it. They used it far less when I started them on wet food, though. Before that, there was a lot of "leave some for the fishes, kripkat!"

You have no idea the ridiculousness of this. She made her boyfriend pretend to be eating it, then she pretended to eat it, and even then she had to feed it to her spoon by spoon (because she will take treats). And to be clear, we're not talking chow - this is the nasty wet stuff that usually animals attach to like lampreys.

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

Man, the government moved the date for our project, and it's apparently not a resoundingly good thing. I'm such an unsophisticate.

Speaking of the PMO (I was), they brought me a red velvet cupcake. Which counts as my first, really, because this thing is delish. Gotta get rid of the nasty cream cheese frosting, but the texture is amazing, and there's actually a chocolate flavour there. I had to go back and have another, and they let me clean them out. Numsters.

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

I'm so suggestible. All this talk of dogs needing walks led me to take Walter for one, and the freaking Februany earworm got us to Subway.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ooh. I want a red velvet cupcake.

I just made myself eat green beans because I'd only eaten white pasta with yogurt today, a recipe for certain disaster. But it wasn't as good as a red velvet cupcake.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha! I am equally suggestible, but I thankfully have no outlet.

Mr Peabody won't stay anywhere I'm not, except the bed and outside. He has no particular interest in food, so for him to eat at all, the food has to be near me. This is why I have dog food in my office.

Because books.

Switch has a UTI right now, and there's so much blood in his urine it's a little freaky. We're starting wet food today.

Any mathy types want to take a crack at tripling this recipe? The cookies look delicious, but I didn't realize the recipe didn't even make a dozen. Totally not worth the effort for less than twelve cookies, when cookies go here like they're made of crack.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Any mathy types want to take a crack at tripling this recipe?

Nope, but I'll quadruple it. (the 1/2 egg is a pain in the ass, and you know you want a dozen more cookies)

1 cup margarine
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 1/4 cups tablespoon oats
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup tablespoons butterscotch chips

I'll even bet actual money that's what the recipe was to start with

Go, Team Amy! I'm glad we have a mathy type, because I would have effed that up for sure. Thank you!

And yes, a dozen more cookies is always okay with me.
