Wedding Showers and Foster Pups

Wedding showers are the most useful and terrible thing to attend. Useful in the case that people buy you anything you ask for- willingly. All you have to do is stand there and smile. Terrible if you must go and not receive a single gift and make chit-chat about your life. I'm 3 years older- I think it's time people at my church buy me things. It's only fair. I did my time there- it's my time for presents!

And I would like the new Dyson vacuum that has that ball thingy. And a slew of Wilson pans. And a nice knife set. A complete pan set would be amazing. A new shower curtain and bath supplies. Some more paintings. A stand-up mirror. My list could go on.

These people owe me. Sorry I'm too independent to run off and get married. But I have an apartment to stock!

Oh, and I got a foster dog. A 5 month cocker spaniel. She's cute:

The One Where It Got Away

My sweet little cat Zeda, who is now trying to drink my raspberry tea, was quite the little hunter tonight.

She caught a little salamander thingy, about an inch long! She carried it into the bathroom, and was so excited about it that I went to see what she had. Poor little Sammy was still alive, smushed into my bathmat and had no tail. When Zeda wasn't looking, I grabbed little Sammy and put him outside.

He seemed grateful.

Zeda did not.

But I gave her a treat to reward her hunting skills. Granted, Igby caught a raven once and would have killed it if he had claws... but this is a big step for Zeda. She normally runs and hides under the bed when things are around.

Maybe she found Sammy under the bed...

Wow. It's all very nice. I urge you to watch.
