Acidman Meets Young Pussy
And don’t miss McGehee’s comment: “Top Ten Ways to Tell If Your Cat Was Rob “Acidmanâ€? Smith in a Former Life.” Heh.

In Memory Of Acidman
“There’s nothing good about fireants.”
He used to cuss out the little buggers, and he got a kick out of this.

Politics explained.
“These are people who would bully in other aspects of their lives if they could, but this is a socially acceptable way to get away with it.”
From a NYT article on how hard it can be to adopt a dog. Hey, wasn’t that an episode of Darcy’s Wild Life? You know, the one where Darcy won’t let anyone have an animal because none of them are good enough? Of course, Darcy meant well and they got her straightened out by the end of the episode, so there you go.
But really, an awful lot of what passes for governance seems to be nothing more than people with control issues trying to inflict them on everyone, don’t you think?

Rest In Peace Foxy
Foxy was one of those sweet, gentle dogs, yet with quite a distinctive personality and sometimes almost human body language. I lived with her for several years when I shared a house with my stepsister. I just learned she left us Wednesday, another canine victim of cancer. It’s sad that Sadie, who loves dogs, will never get to meet her.

Doggies
It’s going to be fun the first time Sadie gets to meet a friendly dog in person, as she’s completely fascinated with them. She likes to stand at my office window, watching the dogs in the yard next door, and even making them bark by rapping on the window.
Be that as it may, I didn’t think she was that fascinated by them. After watching the end of the parade with mixed interest yesterday, she wound up watching, with far greater interest, the big dog show that was being broadcast.

Meow?
Cute as can be, kittens are playful, mischevious, and ever-curious. Like you, kittens hate getting wet. Kittens are often loving, but are known to scratch or bite when annoyed. These adorable animals are the most popular pets in the United States--37% of American households have at least one cat. Whether it is your gentle purr or your disarming appearance, you make a wonderful kitten.You were almost a: Bear Cub or a Lamb
You are least like a: Chipmunk or a DucklingWhat Cute Animal Are You?

Rest In Peace Edloe, A Very Special Cat
Edloe is Deb’s wallpaper, and she’s very attached to Laurence‘s cats. Thus even though I am teary too, I’m doing the honors. Well, that and Sadie woke up crying and wanted Deb after I rescued her from that horrible crib.
It’s a sad day. The news is here, but the main page is currently a memorial. Bring the tissues, folks.
Poor Edloe, coming off the triumph of a superb job hosting Carnival of the Vanities. Earlier reports and updates, in order, were here, here, and here.
Rest in peace, Edloe. We’ll miss you.

The latest Carnival of the Dogs is up at Mickey’s Musings, where it appears most weeks. My brother’s cute dog is in it.

Now That’s A Rush
Acidman’s post reminded me of this funny fireant commercial I got from someone at my old job.

Nail The Sheep! (And I Don’t Mean In A Desperate Male Sort Of Way)
This is fun! Challenging, too. Test your reflexes by nailing the sheep with a dart gun when they try to leave the flock. Can you be a turbo-charged cheetah or a rocketing rabbit? Or will you be a sluggish snail or an ambling armadillo? Perhaps you will be, like me, a bobbing bobcat.

Carnivals Galore!
I’m really, really late with this, but the Carnival of the Cats is up (and has been!) over at Running Scared.
The Carnival of the Dogs is still operational, but badly in need of some participation! So go check it out and submit, submit, submit!

She Loves The Music
Sadie has a favorite web site now. Which would be better if the music would actually play under the classics. It only plays on the main page, until it runs out, under interactive, and in the really cute music video.

Jen Dreams
Poor Jen. Now the mice are invading her dreams.
Speaking of Jen, the mom in one of these pictures reminded me a little of Annie.

Heard At Our House On Christmas
Me,while holding block for Deb to see:*
“Look, it’s Frank J.!”
* Sadie got a set of nine wooden alphabet blocks, and some of the sides of each one have the cutest critter pictures on them, one each of different types like domesticated, wild, insect, and sea. Santa tells me they can be purchased in one of the shops in the mercantile building in Stowe, Vermont for $15 the set.

The Truth About Cats And Jeff
Jeff Soyer has a new blog called Tarazet, not to be confused with Target, and certainly not Wal-Mart.
You could say it’s kind of like blogging meets The Truth About Cats and Dogs. But you probably won’t.
Don’t miss the post where he asks what dog breeds Bush and Kerry would be, if they were dogs. It’s great fun, even though someone beat me to the toy poodle answer.
