This from the guy that wants the Nobel peace prize.

We have one, too. The cats love it!

The problem is, so does the dog. So we don’t use it much.

We used to have a tabby that didn’t just walk into a room. She announced her presence loudly so all of us could honor her royal highness. She made an Entrance.

I sometimes called her the audio engineer - she’d find the places that echoed the most to let loose her loudest meows.

I miss her so much. 8lbs of pure personality. She’d cuddle with me at night, she would show up and demand I lift the blanket, then she’d curl up with me under the covers for a while.

In her mind, she was the queen. The house still feels quiet without her, and she’s been gone 5 years.

I’m reminded of the praying hands emoji people always post in response to an announcement of a vehicle crash on Facebook. If that shit worked, why don’t they pray for God to keep the crash from happening at all?

I haven’t stopped to check.

There’s a house near me that had two giant human skeletons (but different heights, so it came across as husband and wife), and a dog skeleton, well after Halloween last year. But one by one they disappeared, and all three are gone now. :( It was always fun to glance over at just the right moment while I was riding by on my bicycle.

Edit (several days later): The skeleton dog is back!

I’ve never seen men’s underpants with pockets. But I’m also not researching the topic extensively, so it’s possible this is a development in undergarment tech that I’m not aware of.
