So I don't remember if I've mentioned, but Zak likes to play fetch. He taught me himself, one day, and we play all the time now.


He's very headstrong in other areas, also. He's learning our ways, here at the homestead, but he often willfully ignores our wishes, especially when we want him to do something that doesn't please him.

He and Sally have developed this double-team maneuver where they both (pretty much simultaneously) jump up on Mom's bed and give her the hard stare. She knows that what they want is kitty crack, or "Temptations" as they're commonly known. She keeps a stash in her bedside table drawer and she's overly generous with them. Today she decided to mess with them a little, and said, "I'm sorry, no cookies today. I don't have any!" Zak stared at her for a minute or so, then jumped down next to her bed.

Slight rustling sounds, and the he emerges from underneath the bed with a half-bag of Temptations in his mouth. Hops up, looking QUITE pleased with himself, drops the bag next to her, and looks at her expectantly.

Obviously he was rewarded. BUT WHERE DID THE BAG COME FROM?

Spent the week doing the usual. Added in some Roller Derby last weekend with my pal Michelle. Kind of hilarious. The subculture around it was surprisingly robust. Loads of fans there. Also loads of Shriners, since we were at the Shriner's Auditorium. Sometimes I go whole months forgetting there even ARE Shriners.

Trying to take it easy. My knee is a little better: I've got less pain, but it's still stiff when I bend it, and it hurts after a while when I walk. I'm doing a shitload of daily exercises and stretches, at least when I remember to I am. My PT says we'll see if it improves after this week coming, but if not I'd probably need to see an orthopedist. They might need to drain it. I also did something to my elbow, so I decided that I'd hold off on weight lifting for a couple weeks to give that a break too. I feel weird not going to the gym, I have to say. I was planning to go this evening, but I had some unexpected chores I had to take care of:

my guy

He's from the Animal Rescue League in Boston. He's a year and a couple months old. He came from a "crowding" situation (read: crazy cat lady who didn't get her cats fixed and had lots of kittens). I met him last night, and found out this evening that his foster mom chose me. Yay! He's not my normal type (I love the big orange boys, after all) but he's delightful and he needs me, so there you go. My new kitty! Sam's been dead for several years now: it's definitely time. And Sally Ali needs a friend. So I pick him up tomorrow after work. I am excited! Kitty!
