RIP Arwen

We had to put our cat Arwen down today. Her liver had failed, she went peacefully. She was a cool cat with extra toes. We got her as a stray seven years ago and gave her a good home until her end. She purred as soon as I came in to see her at the vet. All the destruction I see in my days and a sick cat upsets me.

TA-50 must taste like chicken.

So the kids woke up around 8:30 this morning and of course so did we. I awoke to discover Roscoe (the ugliest dog in creation) had eaten my ballistic goggles. I had just received the goggles yesterday because I lent my old ones out and I never saw them again. So they lasted almost 15 hours in our home before the dog ate them. I guess I should have put them away but who would know Roscoe was a goggle aficionados? What perplexes me is I cannot find the lens. Did the dog swallow it? Will he pop out a very clean lens today? Will it get stuck and require a trip to the vet? (we shall call him VB) Or (way less exciting) is the lens under the couch?


The poor victim. Notice the copious amount of dog hair on the cover, the chewed up pad on the reverse side and the missing lens.


The perpetrator. Distinguishing features include teeth that don't fit into head, googly eyes and general smushed face ugliness. Looks like he's looking around you doesn't it?

P.S. Just had a thought.(I know amazing) If these goggles are supposed to protect my eyes and are official US Army gear, then how come they where bested by a 25 lbs Boston Terrier?

Fluffy

Here's Gracie, my wife's favorite. If you notice she's the same color as my uniform. She used to be slim but I came back from Basic and she was not anymore. We all get older and rounder right?

Quality time with a cat and a book.

Chanda put the book in her face when she saw the camera come out. Corn (yes her name is Corn, Lil named her) is really interested in the camera.











Look Chanda's face, can you believe it! Corn wants to read too.
