Welcome Home or I Love You, I Missed You, and Now I’m going to Pee on your Stuff 

Duncan was a love bunny all day yesterday.  He followed me around the house, pawed at my leg while I wrote and wanted to sit in my lap while I worked.  Considering that usually Duncan spends the day asleep on the bed, I was impressed just by his following me from room to room.

Then, in the late afternoon, I saw him squatting over my shoe.  Knowing his tendency to leave unwanted presents, I called the Collie Cops who nosed him off that spot.  Later, however, we found Dave’s backpack where Duncan had decided to leave his welcome home gift. 

When it was just Dave and Duncan, Duncan’s welcome home ritual was to love, love, love on Dave and then bite him hard on the hand.  Now that it’s Dave, Anita, Conor, Patches, Scarlett and Simba, it’s love, love, love and pee.  I guess I’d rather have him pee than try to bite the baby, but still.  It’s weird.  Duncan is a weird old cat. 

Teeth Aplenty

Well, Fang is about to be Fang no longer.  His front two teeth, in their right spots, have finally started to come out.  They have been visible for well over a week and since last Friday we could actually see them through the blister of skin that was bubbling up over them.  This morning, I finally felt the left one.  Yes, our poor guy has been pushing out 4 teeth at once.  That has got to hurt. 

Isn't he cute chillin in his ride?  He loves riding around like that!

English Peas

We had our first real meal of English Peas from the garden last night.  Yummmmmm.  Those were dang tasty.  For lunch, I’m going to make a salad with some of our over enthusiastic lettuce.  I’m also hoping on going running in the late morning.  My runs have finally started to progress.  Yesterday was the first good run I’ve had since the Charlotte (Half) Marathon in January 2004.  That’s a long time ago.  And it wasn’t even close to that distance.  Nonetheless, it didn’t suck, and I’ll take that in a run right now. 

Off to work.
