Such a perfect example of Camouflage. If his whisker didn’t twitch from allergies to freshly cut grass, I would never have seen him

dubyah1, you’ve been on fire lately! Keep it up!
Any splendiferous CO’ers know what beastie’s species this is? Ground skwerl?

“da floor” LOL
*does the batman eye thing*
Did someone call me?
I can’t hear you over there.
Not me? Nevermind
It takes ten minutes
To get this big head balanced,
Then I fall over.
Theresa, I think this is the best haiku I have ever seen.
I think Theresa’s haiku could apply in many instances. Monday mornings, for example.
hahahahahaha WIN!!!!!!!!!
*Sticks pinkie under my chin and curtsies*
I’ll happily pay this little dude to mow my lawn.
Hey you guys, I’m waiting for the doctor to call with blood and poop test results for Skippy. He had his annual checkup yesterday and I told her he’s had runny poop for a while. I didn’t realize that it’s really bad to let that go on, and there’s a chance he could have some organ damage.
Could you guys keep your fingers crossed for us until I hear?
skippymom! Sending you all the good thoughts I have and all of my digits are crossed. It’s kind of uncomfortable to walk and type, but it’s worth it.
Thanks, CP. For now I’m taking the approach of “worry excessively in order to ensure that it doesn’t turn out to be all that bad”.
That’s what I do, too. And it almost always works, so I hope it works out for Skippy, too!
Hang in there skippymom!! We (Trixie, Sam and I) are sending positive, soothing thoughts your way.
To skippy and skippymom:
“Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm” (etc)
Eyes and legs crossed too. I just know Mr. Skippy will be fine. He has to be, right? We won’t accept any other outcome. *hug*
Fingers are crossed! I’ll tell Miss Schnozz to cross her paws, too. I know she will, just for you & Skippy, even though she’s not usually a cat-dog
GUYS!!! Doctor just called, good news! His blood work is fine, no organ trouble. He does have a parasite situation called giardia (she said I could have brought it in on my shoes) which is easy to treat. I’ll pick up medication tonight and the Skipster should be on his way to recovery soon. (not to mention less yucky cleanup for his mom)
Thank you for all the good thoughts. You guys are such good friends.
yaaaaayyyyy!
however – watch out in re giardia – it can also be passed to humans
tracy, the doctor said to me “Make sure you don’t clean the litter box and then eat an apple without washing your hands.”
I was like, um, there aren’t people who would actually do that, right?
eeeewwwww
yep it can. often source of traveler’s poop, hard to treat.
poor little poopy baby.
poop. fun to say before coffee intake…
mod lounge coming up, ah can see it….
oooh, you got here just in time! we’re having the cocotini volcano bar! grab a glass, a fez and find yourself a hammock!
Huh. I don’t know why I’m surprised — especially given all of the things I see on reality TV these days.
YaY! I didn’t even get to send warm thoughts, but I certainly would have, if I’d read it in time!
*waves pom-poms furiously, checks that glitter cannon is loaded for celebratory shot
Yayyyyyyyyy!
Yabba dabba doo and yippy Skippy!!!
Hurray!!
When did we get a glitter cannon?? (checks CO budget line item for “celebrations-and-stuff” . . . )
YOUPIE Skippy is OK!!!!!!!!!!
yay!
Yay!!! am glad to hear Skippy is OK.
Awesomeness! Molto bravo! And yaybeans!
yippee! whoopee! huzzah! super!
yay! wowza! wonderful! …ahem …
*clears throat, rearranges hair and
clothing*
excellent news, there, SkippyMom
I’m coming late to this, I apologize. Skippymom and Skippy, I am so glad that things are looking up.

There’s so much grass to nibble.

oh my god, so this adorable photo has forced me to make a confession. at my work we have a HUGE infestation of gophers, and i am in love with them. as a social worker, sometimes i have clients that like to yell at me and i need to calm down and realize that it isn’t about me. i do this by looking for noses. it is the best past time at work EVER. i call it “operation nose.” my co-workers who know about it thought that i was crazy but now they do it to. we discuss nose sightings and are WAY too excited about it. so, my confession is that i am obsessed with finding noses sticking out of the ground, looking for hawks so they can keep their family safe. i suppose that there are worse obsessions but my boyfriend assures me that it is fairly strange.
sounds sane to me. boyfriend has no coping mechanisms
of his own? he just won’t admit to it.
