Our beloved Golden Rottie, Udo, was euthanized last weekend. In honor of him and his adopted brothers who went before, Harpy and I are tallying up a donation pool for the Stephens County Humane Society, where they all came from! We're counting for the whole month of July! We're already over $500 in!

When you hear a ruckus and go to investigate and find a murdered catnip mouse on the floor and pick it up only to realize you are no longer alone... #tortie

Your enemies are counting on you to lose hope. Despair is one of their greatest weapons, for it leads you to stop fighting for yourself. Hold on to hope, no matter how hard it is, and refuse to join your enemy in bringing you down.

Jack the space shipping container kitten continues to grow, but he refuses to abandon his favorite sleeping spot: being sandwiched between Harpy's arm and something else. Our lil guy is approaching 6 months old and 7lbs. He's going to be a moose. #void #kitten

The danger of photographing Jack: a tale in two parts.

There is no third picture because he stole my phone.

Merry Christmas from Lanids and Harpy. <3

Yeah, Jack and Oscar have bonded. Kind of fitting, considering Oscar was raised by a void, and now he gets to raise one himself.

We're doomed.

I can't even with this creature. He's been sleeping like this for over an hour. #kitten #blackcats #void

Found under a shipping container at a rocket factory. His rescuer couldn't keep him, so she reached out to other folks at work and my wife saw his little face and answered.

Of course, he stuck to *me.*

Behold, the LBC (little black cat, actual name pending discovery), 8 hours after he came home:

There were a lot of things I didn't like about the time we lived in Oklahoma. But I LOVED bathing our house in murder lights and strewing demonic pumpkins around for Halloween to give my neighbors something to bitch about at church.
