Didn’t see that coming." I thought you were going to end it sort of like how you ended another post that described Ruby's mother. And the kittens. Minus. Her.

I thought you were going to end it sort of like how you ended another post that described Ruby’s mother. And the kittens.

Minus.

Her.

Forearms.

I'll adopt you, though, Regina - between the two of us we should be able to pull in a lot more care packages.</em> I’m assuming Elle’s care package is for Les and NOT for the cat?

So far, it's choco cherries, cookies, quart o soup, cheese and beer. Abita Beer, that is. A local festive brew. Goes down good with cheese. <em>Les Says: Augh! There you go again with the making me hungry! Yes, of course, please bring the care package. Then we will shop for groceries, so that you can "teach" me to cook, which means I will nod and pretend to pay attention while you make my supper. :-D </em> And shall I bring the care package?

I have a little boy for The Cat! The cat I got talked into taking home from work didn't like either of us, and made a beeline for parts unknown thirteen and a half seconds after being christened by Max as Lucy and let out of the carrier. We've talked about getting another one, always with the disclaimer that The Cat has to not be crazy like Lucy. Dern. I will have to go to the Humane Society this week. This. Week. <em>Les Says: Calm. Down. Drive directly to Sault Ste. Marie. Adopt MY Cat. Betch.</em> WAIT! STOP! I have a little boy for The Cat!

Someone will want the sweet kitty! I kind of always wanted a store so I could have a store cat. But then I remembered that I don't like cats and I have nothing to sell. <em>Les Says: Have you considered selling cats?</em> Oh yes, the little kitty will be fine. Someone will want the sweet kitty!

Didn't see <i>that</i> coming. It's okay, though, because I watch Animal Cops on Animal Planet, so I know that all animals who go to the humane society are adopted by lonesome old couples and sweet little boys, and they all live happily ever after. <em>Les Says: And he WILL live happily ever after.
