Morning Moopsy is hiding behind the unused wood stove because he made the poor decision to jump into one of the cat litter boxes & blames the world for it.

This is Grimalkin. She is 18 and very grumpy but also likes being held like a baby. She is mad at the beginning because I'm not currently holding her.
Closeup of a gray cat's face, she is looking down, grumpy. Closeup of a gray cat's face after I started singing to her. She stood up and is looking up, her greenish yellow eyes huge.

This is Mochi cat & Loki dog. We sing to them a lot so it isn't out of the ordinary, I think they are both annoyed.

A snail friend that visited our campsite on the Oregon coast near Astoria. I roughly identified it as a Northwest Hesperian snail, (Verspericola columbianis), but I'm not an expert so I could be wrong. #SnailPosting

Morning Moopsy- happy binks on the sofa while voidcat Ketchup observes.

After five minutes of this, Moopsy parkoured off the ottoman & over Ketchup, who decided that was too much & batted him off her sofa. 🤣

My very traumatized rescue bunny Moopsy has started venturing around the house after over a year working on his trust & helping him feel safe. This morning he did several happy bunny binks (leaps) when we let him out.
