Let’s Talk about Pets, Baby
I’m still kind of chuckling that as my father was lying, possibly dying, in a hospital emergency room, his primary focus was not seeing his firstborn son one last time, but making sure his dogs were walked, put to bed, and doted on. It really is crazy how much we love our animals. I’ve always [...]

Lemurs on Newt

Mid-Day Open Thread
Been a shitty couple of days (except for that big win last night), so I think we all need a mid-day bit of kitty porn: I’ve never met another cat who makes relaxing look so natural. He wasn’t born to hunt and prey, he was born to laze.

‘Tis the Season of Giving
I was sitting here in the lazyboy, enjoying the solace, and my guilty conscience kicked in. You’ve been begging for pics for days, so I got up and took some: Speak and Whisper are hiding in the basement, and Rosie is guarding/chewing a chew toy underneath the spare bedroom bed and won’t come out.

Thursday Morning Open Thread
I have, to the best of my meagre ability, sent a one-line “Received – thanks!” reply to every pet-pic emailed to me or the Calendar 2012 address. Some of you probably got thanked twice, because there’s a total of more than 160 messages, many of them with multiple images. Beth is going to be spoilt [...]
