King Ping and Baby Lotus are saving a spot for you, LT!  All nappers are welcome, on a first come first serve basis.  Space is limited (Sorry, it's a single bed, not a king-sized as would befit His Majesty the Ping.)

Ping and Lotus saving a spot

What are you most sensitive about? 

Inspired by the recent QotD, I wrote a silly little Miao-poem on Prince Tantra's behalf.  Ideally, each verse should be accompanied by an illustrative photograph, but Vox photos are so hard to format that I'll skip that part.  It's silly, and it's the first poem I've written since 2nd grade (except for hai-kus), but hopefully it will meet with my feisty Fluff-Puff's approval.

Napping Purrfection

Prince Tantra is a sensitive lil’ purr
If things aren't just so, he will wonder
Why no one seems to love him anymore.
He’ll nurse his feelings, which you have made sore,
Thinking, When you walked by my kitty bed,
Why didn’t you stop to pet and kiss my head?
I chose my nap spot just for that reason
So I could collect my toll of pettings.
And why did you take Baby Lotus's side
When you know his antics I can’t abide?
Why did I get my fishies very last
When you served all my brothers their breakfast?
Am I not deserving of daily food,
Or are you deliberately crossing my mood?
Why are your eyes transfixed on the TV
Instead of gazing lovingly at me?
Am I not more beautiful than the show?
You have grown tired of me – say it isn’t so!
Woe!  my tail you have been neglecting
Even though all others are measly string
When compared to its luscious floofiness.
So I say you have been more than remiss
In expressing your love for me.  Is it
No wonder that I am compelled to hiss?

a couple of weeks ago i posted a blog about fundraising for a walk i was going to do.  yesterday was the walk.  Except for waking up at 6am, Jon and i had a great time.  We met up with our team of my coworkers at the memorial coliseum and took some pictures

As we turned one of the corners we could see downtown

A small group of us got seperated from the team in the mass of people at the start and walked a little slower. 

the ending line was pretty neat.  we walked into the coliseum through the tunnelt he usc football team runs onto the field.  we see the finish line.  they were handing out roses to the Cancer survivors and medals to everyone. 

I walked in memory of my Grandmother and my friend Carol.  I made a tribute sign with these 2 pictures on it.

Finally found the new Tattered Cover Bookstore, but really found another great restaurant in Denver, Encore off Colfax.

Soundly Sleeping Ping

Each little curve of floof, eyelid, and whisker is so purrfectly angled.  I wish I were small enough to crawl between the layers of Ping floof and take a nice warm nap.

See the little toes just peeking out from the floof?
