Brotherly Balance

Posted on March 18, 2012 by nadbugs

One thing I’m really happy about:  I’m recognizing an “old-self” aspect of Bugs coming back.  The reserved, contemplative, concerned side of him. He’s been choosing his moments carefully to approach me.  He draws near slowly, looks in my eyes, purrs … Continue reading →

Let this green stand for spring, renewal, refreshment. He lives, he still has a pulse — he’s just resting, Ma.  All’s well.

Parallel Profiles

Posted on March 16, 2012 by nadbugs

Apart from the overall cuteness effect, which I hope you agree is formidable, I really enjoy how this picture showcases Fang’s longer muzzle. Don’t they look like they’re just about to burst in two-part harmony? In top hat and tails.

Posted on March 15, 2012 by nadbugs

Bugs is amazed to hear that humans may actually understand something important after all.  Fang is, like, whatever. (Bean’s grandmother never had any doubts on that score.) Devote eleven minutes to this wonderfully fun and informative video, about what left-brain-right-brain … Continue reading →

Bugs Browses

Posted on March 12, 2012 by nadbugs

Enough Is Enough

Posted on March 10, 2012 by nadbugs

I think that might be what Fang was trying to say here. He never did that in the month he was cooped up all the time in Base Camp.  And he didn’t do anything like that in the last three … Continue reading →
