My older son Chuck and Me at Old Town, San Diego November, 2006
My diet is working - the sweater was hanging on me - YEA!
Chinese Puzzle Cat
Open Box
Remove Cat
Some assembly may be required-----
Evidently Summer doesn't like my son (Hmmm - because he ran her into a wall with the laser red dot?
Put her in her small cat tree and rolled her around the floor? Chases her? Or, she doesn't like men in general. Can't say. - she's in his lap - she had been curled tightly into a small ball
and he had picked her up and upended her.
She held that position long enough for us to grab a camera (I was laughing too hard)
and shoot over my son's shoulder. Yes - she has all four legs.
Gracie attacking a pillow (she had just gone head over pillow)
