Now, I've just got to cut loose, before it gets late

I have one neighbour on my floor - I'll call him Cheery Bald Neighbour - who, every single time he sees me, says two things during the course of the conversation.

( In which I rant at length about my neighbour's annoying habits )

Also, I'm 90% certain that he was the perpetrator of Lake Domestos last week. The stairwell still smells faintly like a public swimming pool.

One day soon she's gonna make us into stars

This morning I attempted to emulate this amazing post because I want an icon of a collie (or a pointer, I'm not picky) with a pancake on his head more than I want anything right now.

Half an hour, four pancakes, a minor dogfight and no photographs later, I am forced to conclude that my dogs are a. smarter than I am and b. have reasonable grounds for thinking I'm barking mad.

On the other hand, small pieces of pancake might make useful training treats as long as I'm trying to train them to do something other than posing with a whole pancake...

The love that doesn't know what it's dreaming of

( Kittens on the eleventh day! )

These would have been better if Cassie hadn't decided she didn't feel like her children participating in a photo shoot today. She kept pushing the camera with her head and getting in my way, so I kept getting furry black photos and odd angles. These two are what I could salvage.

Well, it took a little while but we're in this fight

Further to this entry, I bring you dogs with pancakes on their heads!

( Well, almost. Cut for extreme silliness. )

There's a new sensation

( Cut for baby human picture: this is Maya Grace )

Sister T says she looks like me. I say it's hard to tell, but I don't think she looks too bad for someone so new.

Wenn sie aus den fäusten bricht

Shit, shit, shit, shit. Spike did something to his left wrist this evening when that squirrel leapt over his head. He did do some quite spectacular aerobatics trying to catch it - he must've landed wrong. He's limping badly on it now.

Have looked over and felt it very carefully and there's nothing bleeding, loose, crunchy, sticking in, sticking out or making him wince, so it looks like a pulled muscle type thing. I'll see how a night's rest affects it before I do anything. This happened once before and he was fine inside 24 hours.

note to self, check LJ for the last time it happened. Was it the same leg? Because that'd be a worry.

ETA: Arse. Why the hell didn't I say which bloody leg it was? But it was a year ago, so it doesn't necessarily mean he has a recurring bad leg. I hope.
