She/her, aro ace person, animal lover. I also write YA books. Current WIP: girl vs. vampire in the Deep South.
Shadow and Desi love each other, and that love includes sharing the almighty tube treat. Shadow makes a mess? Desi is the cleanup crew. Shadow takes a break to digest? Desi's turn! Shadow is fine with it. She can and will discipline her sister.

Just two spooky girls in their tiny spooky world.

More info: my brother was the 1st/only child enrolled at the on-site daycare for a while, Mom worked there 2x and said she'd walk the streets before making that mistake a 3rd time, and her ex-coworkers were forbidden from visiting her when she gave birth to me after her 2nd stint working there.

Who gave Kris a keyboard and Washington Post posting access?

I read bar complaints against attorneys for fun and those are against the attorneys who managed to squeak past the exam. Complaints against ChatGPT Kim if she got through without passing the exam would be the length of an entire novel.

Post-read reaction: hooooooly shit. Thank God my dad's job transfer got us the fuck out of there. My mother's input is that the hospital's patient care problems were a definite issue back to the 80s and Wernick was known among the staff as a snake. She was an RN mainly in the ICU.

My reaction even before reading is "holy shit" because I was born at that hospital and my mother worked there 30+ years ago. One never expects "their" hospital to be at the center of one of these stories.

My cat opens a drawer to lie on a heating pad that isn't even turned on. She just likes how it feels.

From one ridiculous tuxedo cat to another, happy gotcha day, Smol Paul!

He's my #1 gremlin. He can throw his voice so far that when he meows at my front door and I'm still outside 15-20 feet away, I think there's a cat outside in need of help.

I'll hand it to the A-Z one, using a shorthair tuxedo for I as in Iconic is funny as hell. "Iconic" is certainly what I'd call mine.

Depending on a few things, she might be going on her first long road trip soon. She has a ton of meds she needs morning and night and I have no one who can care for her. If she's strong enough to get her shots, she can be boarded. If not, road trip.

I told her she could go if she was tired, but like me, she's a fighter.

She's also very silly. She's always liked napping in my dirty clothes basket, but she REALLY likes it in there right now. She can do what she wants. Girl got room service dinner and liked it.

Shoot, I need to get a picture of the tiny Jaws zen garden one of my coworkers has on her desk. I think you'd love it. Your animals would never let you have it, but it's so cute.

My empty-headed baby 🖤 According to my calculations, he and his equally spooky sister turned 8 this month. I didn't plan to get spooky cats born in October, but when you stop in a pet store in December and a pair of two-month-old kittens are there as part of an adoption event...

Biiiiig difference. Also, Ash is so much like my boy Fang it's funny. I've figured out the trick to make him weigh himself and he came in at 12 pounds even earlier this week.

Two attorneys and a paralegal just walked by and looked at me. I looked right back.

YEAH I'M DOING THIS, WANNA FIGHT? I'M UNSUPERVISED AND OUT OF CONTROL.

My longhair will purr at any attention from me whatsoever, but I swear he purrs the loudest when I get the undercoat rake and the brush.

We tell the longhairs how pretty and fluffy they are, it conditions them to be excited for the brushy time that makes them pretty and fluffy. It's just science.

Damn, your breeder friends are amazing at breeding bassets. I can't recall how many times I've seen you post proudly about those dogs winning at various shows.

I'd be clown enough to say I helped make them champions by giving them snuggles and kisses if I were in your position, lol.
