Chicken Spring has arrived! First new-laid egg of the season. Hooray for that elderly hen who keeps on cluckin'. I can certainly recommend the Andalusian Blue breed of chickens, if you're thinking about a backyard flock. She's been one of the best hens we've ever had.

Met a friend for breakfast this morning. Cortado coffee (2 shots of espresso cut with hot milk) and a cheddar-jalapeño bagel sandwich with egg and sausage. Delicious. Buttery. Heart-stopping. I regret nothing.

I guess those two new washable dog kennel mats belong to the cat now. *sigh*

The Assistant wishes you and your cats a very crabby International Cat Day.

One of my long-leggety corgi mix pups didn't quite make it out of bed. Points for trying!

Why yes, that dog bed IS in a chair. Your point is?

The most fun this miscreant has had all day: riding 50' in the car when I moved it out of the driveway. "Load up!" Best words ever, right behind "Hungry?" or "Ball!"

It'd have to be erotica. I mean, c'mon, LOOK at that thing.

A tired corgi is a good corgi.

Today's fortune from the cookie. Appropriate for the troublesome book I'm writing.

Hello, Felix. Pinky (long tail) and Brain (natural bobtail) and Boy Scout (spousal shoes to left) send their greetings in return.

Ha! :-D

Here's a photo of Pinky (that's her nom d'interwebbes) after I woke her up from a nap just to take her photo. Not best pleased with me until I delivered belly rubs.

There's not a chance in the world that I wouldn't give this precious puppy what she wanted, after THAT FACE begged me. We went for a walk.

We got rained on, but we finished the mile-long walkies anyway. Heard some jays complaining about a Coopers hawk in the trees, until it finally got aggravated enough to leave. Pinky and The Brain are sporting their new harnesses (Joyride brand).
