Quiet Beauty
— My mood this gray morning. Not so much Bugs’s. I’m still feeling the impact of one of Cesar’s episodes last night. Him working with a slender, nervy woman and her immense mastiff. Who has twenty pounds on her and … Continue reading

Clearing The Air
Over the weekend I got unhinged by kittens. Boy that was fun. Now it’s a weekday. So back to work: I want the world to improve. For cats, that is. No hope remains, where beans are concerned. Present company excepted. … Continue reading

Jumping Over My Own Shadow
This was taken a while back. You remember Snowpocalypse? Then. To the subject of now, which is, Bugsie playing claw-launch on my person at 3:30 a.m. Of all the theories all y’all came up with to explain what he could … Continue reading

Squirt-Bottle Vanquished
This is the relationship Bugs decided he wants with Squirt-Bottle. Needless to say, he and Bean do not see eye-to-eye on this one. Never mind. One step at a time. Mmm. Looks pretty tasty. Do not be distracted by the … Continue reading
Work In Progress
Blog-friends dear ones all: The relationship is under construction. The saga continues. Bean watched another episode of Cesar last night. This one really helped. It seems to be all about two things: Timing, and carving out the personal space. We’ve … Continue reading

Still No Words, 3:00 a.m.
Bean shot this while cracking up laughing, at your-alls’s comments to previous posts. Time: 03:00. Problem No. One: Full moon. Problem No. Two: Guarding, for eventual smackdown scheduled between 04:00 and 06:30. Bugs left the room immediately after this was … Continue reading
