Awww, so adorable. And named after one of my favorite characters.

That is quite a young kitten! Glad that the older ones are making friends.

That’s so bloody obvious it doesn’t need to be said! Who should rule the world – fuzzy lovable and loving dogs, or violent hairless apes?

I wonder if any of the humans who contributed their dog to that massive doggy rumpus of look-alike golden retrievers was worried about correctly ID-ing their own dog afterwards? What if they called the dog’s name, and two or three look-alikes showed up? 😄

According to the friend who was fostering her, she was born in early May, which would make her 10-12 weeks old when we brought her home.

Cocoa was curious and friendly from the beginning, investigating under the door when we were keeping her isolated pending a vet checkup. Vash was a bit of a hissy crankypuss at first, but quickly came around. Both of the big cats have taken to pinning her down and grooming her.

Oh good. She’s thoroughly adopted; that’ll make things easy. They’ll teach her how to Cat.

Cocoa and Vash are each three going on four (adopted as kittens, somewhat older than Delenn is now, in late 2019 shortly before the pandemic hit).

I always told myself I wouldn’t be one of those dorks who puts a bandana on their dog, but I was goofing around with Bob earlier (he’s always so tolerant with glasses and hats and things) so I slapped a blue bandana on him and goddamnit if he isn’t adorable.

I think it shows how much Bob trusts you, since he knows you would never make him look ridiculous whatever you put on him. And yes, he looks great.

Very adorable indeed! There’s nothing dorky about a bandana on a dog – it’s a very fine accessory for the fashionable canine. Here is Bernie proudly sporting a patriotic red and white maple leaf bandana: 🙂

My gf entered Kizzy in her first agility trial this weekend. She was a nervous wreck, afraid she’d be embarrassed if Kizzy was flustered. Nope, Kizzy won 3 first place ribbons out of three trials with zero faults! What a good girl!

Good job, Kizzy! – and she must enjoy it, or she wouldn’t do so well.

She LOVES it. It’s so much fun just watching her interact with anyone who wants to rub her belly, then when she enters the ring she forgets about anyone but my gf.
