My best guess. He didn’t seem bothered by the kitten until I started taking pictures. 🙂

Aha! You weren’t supposed to get evidence of him snuggling with Her [spit].

Not my cats, but they live in my house and I take care of them, that makes them sort of mine. They seem to think so, anyway.

Judging by their expressions, they think you should be doing something you’re not doing; or possibly that you are doing something they think you shouldn’t be doing.

Because we could all do with a bit of cheering up. Someone who is totally a fierce dragon:

From the expressions on their faces, I’m going with “bid for world domination”. Kasya may not be sure, but Buddy definitely looks like he’s hatching a nefarious plot and will soon draw Kasya into it. But then, I always interpret cats’ expressions from a dog’s perspective. 😉

My very large pet Ben (RIP) enjoying the delights of spring grass, whose richness brought out the dapples in his coat. I post a sunny spring image in midwinter to remind us all that a time of thaw and warmth will come. (Also, spring will arrive.)

> What breed of dog is **Luna**?

I know you asked this in 2020, but I can now answer (because of her doggie DNA test which _just_ came in):

64% German Shepherd

18% Labrador Retriever

18% American Staffordshire Terrier

Interesting, thanks, and I’m glad you did the DNA test. All three breeds are known to be smart dogs. Luna also inherited good looks from the combo – she’s a beautiful dog.

Sir Reginald aka Rotten Reggie was kind enough to remove his own damn collar and re-gift it to me. You have to click on it to see the whole thing(I guess?)

I just got back from an unplanned trip to see my folks for minor medical and semi-major technology emergency, and snapped this pic of their current dog (a mutt with a good bit of oversized poodle)

Mademoiselle Gigi is a good doggo, though she absolutely wants to protect my step-mother from me. And anything/everything else in the world for the matter!

The markings on the tux face made me giggle, for reasons that are, uh, not workplace appropriate.
