I’m sure we have a jigsaw puzzle, somewhere, featuring kittens in Christmas stockings. We have never tried that in real life. I think it would have led to grumpy kittens.

Cats Embracing Goofiness
Forget the psychology–these cats are having fun. And if some of these capers turn out not to be fun, after all… well, surely it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Snow Puppies
Can golden retrievers learn to be sled dogs? Would it create friction with the huskies? Well, puppies can dream… [Don’t take that song, “Frosty the Snowman,” too seriously. It’s only here as background music.]
Cats Having Fun in the Snow
I’d love to get a bit of snow! Day after day of rain and grey sky is getting me down. Just four inches or so–I’m not greedy. We also get a nice show from the squirrels whenever it snows.

Dogs (and cats) have surplus brain power. More than they need. The thing that beats me is, how do they use it? What’s going on up there in doggy’s head? What looks goofy to us might not be so goofy… if only we understood it.
‘Don’t Mess With My Cat’
Dog appoints himself the cat’s guardian–or vice versa–isn’t domestication wonderful? I mean, no way this happens in nature, uh-uh, forget about it. Will we ever figure out how to domesticate human beings?
Puppy’s First Christmas
I did have pet crickets whoop it up on New Year’s, some long time ago; but I never had a puppy with a Christmas tree. Our cats used to chase each other in and out of the tree, but they grew out of it.

I don’t understand, now, why I was afraid of dogs when I was little. We didn’t have one. Everybody else on our street did. Eventually I made friends with Brownie, who lived next door and had the run of the neighborhood.
(Story stops here: sorry, falling asleep as I type.)
Creative Sleeping
Do you ever fall asleep in a funny position? It’s said that Christopher Marlowe used to sleep hanging upside-down from monkey bars. That beats anything these cats can do, although I had to resort to fiction to get it.
