| | Is roughly how fast a collie can travel if there is a remote control helicopter caught in its fur. Unfortunately, the rotor on a helicoptor is not meant to spin fur. Currently, #3 and #4 have two lengths of collie yarn attached to their new remote helicopters. The collies are hiding in their crates, since clearly we have brought some sort of truly evil new animals into the house which are trying to eat collies, but not before plucking them bald.
Emma, on the other hand, cannot believe her good luck. A Siamese cat who climbs the curtains and perches on top of the curtain rod can take out a helicopter at a moment's notice with one dramatic leap. Which works well until gravity takes the controls.
So, how's your day? |

| | W00T copters indeed. #4 has just learned to make them hover just out of reach over Emma's head. Hilarity is ensuing even as we speak!  |

| | Cindy, you know I love you dearly, so it's with true concern that I ask this - have you had any brain injury symptoms lately? This purchase does not seem wise. |

Marmel's plotting something. Not sure what. But she's on top of the tote stack with "I'm plottin' somethin'" look on her face. Whatever it is, I fear for the vibrating porcupine's life.
Pixie keeps going into the bathroom to meow. She likes singing in the shower, as long as the water's not turned on.

| | She's still smaller than the babies- the two foster kitties. She's a dainty little thing, but a second after that shot she'd taken the helicopter down and bitten off the rotor.  |
