Scratcher of heads, rubber of bellies
I do my best to indulge the pets in their favorite pastimes. While Sam is a football fan, Trixie and Boo love open-wheel racing so I’ve spent many weekends working on my laptop while they snuggle up on my lap and follow the racing action with rapt attention. These pictures are from last summer, they spent the morning watching Lewis Hamilton win the Formula 1 German Grand Prix for Mercedes while in the afternoon they watched Simon Pagenaud win the Indycar race at Mid-Ohio for Team Penske.
Long may he reign.
I SAID, “ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT’S ME, BOO!”
Our youngest cat Trixie, a tortoiseshell with one white whisker. She had three as a kitten but these days usually just one, although its location may move around as one falls out and another grows.
This portrait of Boo from last fall always makes me smile, which I can use this morning.
You might not recognize him since he’s not sitting in a box, but this is our cat Boo.
I’m pleased to announce that we’ve begun production on a new TV series called Detective Samwise, a show in the long tradition of slightly silly murder mysteries. Detective Samwise is called in to investigate a string of cat burglaries, in which it turns out actual cats are being stolen. By coincidence our hero detective is himself a cat, so he goes undercover to catch the thief red-handed but finds more than he bargained for when he discovers a murder most foul! We are having some issues with the actress playing our murder victim, however, as while she’s quite good at laying still, she keeps swiveling her ears around so she can hear if craft services has started laying out snacks.
Boo tells me that if he sits real still in this spot he can detect gravity waves. I’m 90% sure he’s putting me on.
Experts warn that as the weather warms, look before you reach into dark places like woodpiles or linen closets, as dangerous creatures may have crept in to sleep in the safety and comfort of these secluded areas.
The truth will out.
