Passionate bright young things

[lizblackdog]

They can walk now instead of floor-swimming, and Callette and Shona have been introduced to Spike. They didn't care - all the kittens have been smelling the dogs on me all their lives so Spike was just part of the furniture, but he nearly burst!

I didn't take pictures of the introduction, but I will when it's all a bit less new and scary for me. Spike was on his best behaviour, holding his breath, not moving a muscle though his whiskers and the tips of his ears were vibrating with pent-up excitement - but when I took them for a walk right afterwards he gave me the very best full-on rollercoaster shark-fishing barking steer-roping alligator-wrestling Spike experience in his power. Aww!

Yayyy!

I just learned from my sisters that the people across the street that our street branches off of have just had kittens too. We went over there and met five little sweet black kittens about seven days old. So I'll stop begging you to send me one through the computer screen.

Piper got out and shed her collar in this small jungle of grapevines and a mullberry bush that the neighbors have. I lured her back in with food but the collar is a total write-off until the neighbors attack the area in question with a small thermonuclear device. (And here I thought my biggest project of the day would be taking inventory of the booze my various one-generation-up relatives (excluding my mother, who won't be seen parking in front of a bar or liquor store and was embarrassed that the bottles were in plain sight) have purchased over the past quarter century. Nope. Cat has to get out.)

You can always trust animals to make your life more interesting!

(Is there a bottle of advocaat? There's always a bottle of advocaat and no one ever knows who bought it. Watch it doesn't change shape in the night.)

Nope, no advocaat. But two bottles of creme de menthe. Ugh! I hate creme de menthe, and there's two fucking bottles of it! And then there's my dad and his amaretto liqueur that tastes better coming up than it does going down . . . and whenever I want to buy anything I my mom says we have enough booze already, and my favorite wine has just turned to vinegar because I can't drink the blasted stuff without enduring a temperance-style lecture and being told that I have it too often (once every week or two) and I have to either stay out in the living room or invite my sisters into my room because "never drink alone, Kyra!" and my sisters are not 21 yet and jealous, and my Bacardi silver stuff is disappearing faster than I drink it, compliments of my dad . . . nevermind. Ranty. It's too hot here, too; I stole a fan from Mom in addition to my little one, but my room is crammed with the furniture I bought for my dorm as well as the stuff it normally has so there's not any good air flow, and Tetrapod bit me and Purkin's shed his collar too ("But Piper did it!") and my brain is completely fried.

Never mind.

What happened to TrekBBS on your link list?

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

I took it off because I was having a sulk and not posting there. I ought to put it back, I've been posting again the last day or so... I never can sulk for too long...

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

...there, I replaced it. Although I kept TerranBBS and Kelly'z in front of it this time.

I want to try Advocaat :-(
You can't get it in the states

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

It's revolting. You'd think it'd be like eggnog but it's just nasty.

[james-the-evil1.livejournal.com]

Really? I don't LIKE eggnog, but I read about Aadvocate in a Brit-printed encyclopedia on liquors & liqueurs. I wanted to try it just 'cause you can't get it here.
