Henry’s being her usual silly self, rolling around in the crow’s nest. She was getting ready to grab the camera with her front paws, but I got the photo and got out of the way before she could follow through.

Polly
Lots of bird activity (and chipmunks and bunnies, too), which means that Polly is sitting in the crow’s nest, watching all the to-ing and fro-ing.
Bad Henry
Lest there was any doubt about her eeevilness.
Feets! I was only able to get a couple of shots of her feet, because she kept reaching out to grab the camera with them.
Funny Dog Is Funny
I went to my mom’s this weekend. Last night, a bunch of us were sitting around in the living room, playing games. I heard Harriet making nesting noises in the chair behind me, so I turned to look. She’d somehow gotten under the cover that was lying over the back and seat of the chair. I haven’t laughed that hard in ages. Silly goose.
Miss Brown
And of course, no experiment would be complete without a photo of Miss Brown. This one is almost in focus, even!
(Not So) Lazy Sunday
Aren’t they sweet when they’re sleeping? It did not last long. I took Harriet’s photo, then a few minutes later, took one of the kittens. A few minutes after that, all hell broke loose, and we are now enjoying high speed races around the living room. Harriet chases the cats, who are in turn chasing each other. The chase ends when the cats fly up their tree and taunt Harriet from its top platform. As soon as Harriet feigns boredom and turns her back, the cats jump down and the the chase is on again. And please don’t waste your time feeling sorry for the poor, wee kittehs. They are the instigators of this particular game.
Miss Brown is an Unhappy Model…
This is what happens when you take photo requests from Kibologists.
I went to Target this morning, where I found OMGTEALDUCTTAPE!!11!!!eleventy-one!1!!! Now, duct tape is a thing of wonderment and beauty all on its own, but when it is also the very best color in the whole world? Perfection.
(No dogs were harmed in the making of this photo. The human, however, had better sleep with one eye open tonight.)
Lasers Armed and Ready!
Just in case there was any doubt in anyone’s mind that Henry is anything but pure eeevil. And yes, she’s OMGONTHEBED!!! Harriet nearly had a brain hemorrhage.
Words were had, and Henry suddenly decided that she had somewhere else to be, tout de suite.
A Loaf of Bread, a Container of Milk, and a Stick of Butter
I’m wondering where all that snow we were supposed to get went. It seems to have turned into a mostly rain event, though we are starting to get a little bit of snow build-up, now that it’s dark and the temperature has dropped. Somehow I doubt that we’re going to get anywhere near the 14 inches that people at work were talking about yesterday. That just doesn’t happen here. A lot of people must have thought it would, because when I went to the grocery store this morning, there were entire shelves picked clean. That could be as much due to the Super Bow(e)l as the weather, though.
Sesame Street, “Loaf of Bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter”
This wasn’t taken today, but it’s pretty much how Harriet spent the afternoon. She does not approve of rain, sleet, or snow. I love the way her ear is propped up by the couch.
Getting Shit Done
My root canal turned out to be a non-issue. He gave me a prescription for Vicodin, but I had absolutely no pain when the Novocaine wore off, so it was completely unnecessary. We’ll be saving that little stash for a rainy migraine day, I think.
Since I don’t want to try eating anything too toothsome just yet, I decided to make Cincinnati chili lentils with rice. I’ve been craving lentils, and they lend themselves really well to the seasonings in Cincinnati chili. Yum!
Alsotoo, since I had the afternoon free, I did my taxes. Once again, I-File (Indiana’s on-line service for filing state taxes) told me that I owed a huge amount of money. H&R Block said I get $250 back. I think I’ll go with H&R Block, since they have no dog in this race. Just to be on the safe side, I also did my state taxes by hand, and as far as I can tell, H&R Block is correct. I don’t know what the hell I-File is thinking, but apparently it’s smoking crack.
(Henry is having a rare nap. She’s kinda cute when she’s not rocketing around the house, scratching on doors and windows, or biting me on the head.)
