And both Kitten and Elliot ate it. Yes, I have genius cats.
I haven't had much free time this week, so sorry about the lack of blog updates. I finally uploaded some pictures to Flickr, though. Mostly of the hilarious litter-eating event, though.
Little Fluffy was due to get neutered & vaccinated today. He made himself scarce this morning, conveniently, and we will have to wait until next week. I've let him in here and there this week and he's taken to being an indoor cat like a champ. Last night, it was raining, which would normally mean that I wouldn't see him as he's off hiding under a car or something. He had wits enough to come to my door and cry last night, though. Then let me towel him off. Then went straight for the food bowl. That's my boy!
The other job is going great. I like the boss there a lot. I may get to go to CT in August to help them on an event and am excited about it. Not only do I get to LEAVE FLORIDA for a bit, but it'll be to a beautiful port town. Yay!
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
