where did he go?

My girlfriend just got back from a week at a conference in Kansas City. I picked her up at the airport late last night and brought her home. Unfortunately her son, who was housesitting, had some bad news. One of her cats, Pippin who I often call "Bad Penny", has been missing for 5 days.

So if you happen to see a orange and white domestic short hair, answering (ha!) to the name Pippin, and looking like the picture on the left just bring him back home. I know my girlfriend will appreciate it--even if I have mixed feelings about the critter.

As you can tell, he likes books so maybe he's hanging around a library or school. We checked the two local animal shelters but no cats matching his description at either. A lot of orange and white shorthairs though--a popular type of cat, I guess.

Since he's very friendly I suspect he's been adopted by some family in the nearby neighborhood, but if so, he's not likely to be out of circulation for long. He hates to stay inside for long--and is quite vocal about it--and is quite the escape artist so walls aren't likely to hold him in as long as a door opens when he's near.

So, Pippin, where are you?

I see Pippin was standing on a Harry Potter book. Maybe Pippin got sent to the cornfield - you're a bad cat, Pippin.

michele sent me, but I don't blame Michele, she's a nice lady, she does good things.

Hmm..I havent seen her around here! I can relate to Pippin. My cat was missing once and I remembered crying for days and got so depressed because of it. Still do..

I love cats.

I hope to save the world of cats.

I truly hope you find Pippin. There's nothing worse than losing your little baby! Other than that, I hope you are having a good weekend.

She hasn't maed it to New Zealand, as far as I know, though our neighbours have a similar looking cat who has a favourite basking spot in our garden. I hope she comes back.

Oh, I'm so sorry about Pippin and sure hope he returns. He's a gorgeous cat. My new neighbor that moved in a few days ago came over recently to let me know her cat is also missing and to keep an eye out for him. Must be that time of year.
Here from Michele's.......

Hi Utenzi, Michele sent me today. I love my cat, Baby. If she went missing it would be losing my best friend. If Pipin likes to wander he might be visiting a person who has heaped love upon him. For your girlfriend's sake I hope Pippin returns.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
