pets

i must say, it is so nice to have pets in the house. never before have i had so many pets at once. just three. but in a small condo, you can look in any direction at any given time and find either a sleeping cat, or a busy cat or a scruffling puppy, whatever scruffling puppies do.

dracula and ollie really do seem to be friends. i think it's because both have the ability and the desire to be friends with pretty much everyone, so of course, it makes sense that they would befriend one another.

rabbit on the other hand, has the desire to be friends with anyone who has food for her. otherwise, she would rather oversee things as though an aloof and ambitious supervising manager. always calling us into her office to say, "look, this is about as low as i'd like this food bowl to get. and can you keep that dog away from it? thanks."

how can we not love them?

even when oliver unhems his jacket...















or takes my socks out of the laundry basket and puts a hole into each....

what is the use in getting upset? a higher blood pressure? no, that is not a good enough reason. they are socks. there's no use. we'll simply learn from the lessons they teach us.
