    We had dachshunds like that when I was growing up. Ambrose would wolf down anything, before considering whether it was even edible, or not ... Not the sharpest knife in the drawer!

    Sorry to hear that your back is still giving you curry, Ian. I suspect that mine has now permanently packed it in, after causing me problems on an off since I was 13 y.o., so genuinely sympathise.

    Beautiful little kittens. Good on you for rescuing them! As an ex cat breeder, and lifelong cat owner, I have strong views on this. 1) Breeding cats (and dogs) are entire, all pets should be desexed. 2) Cats (and dogs) should be kept inside from an hour before sunset until an hour after...

    And a happy Easter (rabbit day) to you and yours, Brian and Charles. Fine old pagan festival, celebrating the rebirth each year of the goddess of dawn and fecundity ...

    Soil is made out of rocks, by both earthworms (Charles Darwin) and plants. Like you, Ovi, I am always staggered by the fecundity of life, and its ability to hang on almost anywhere ❤️.

    Tony, I agree. Same with our scrub turkeys here. When we were in Queensland recently, I managed to get a few but most of my shots are of a disappearing blur! Now that I'm recuperating, I will keyword and upload my images from our trip, once I've tackled some of the more pressing household...

    Cardinal Richelieu was sitting on his throne, with a kitten sleeping on the sleeve of his vestments. He had to get up, so ordered one of his attendants to cut the sleeve off his robe, rather than disturb the sleeping kitten. Mind you, he was probably off to oversee the torture of some heretics ...

    Great to hear, Chuck. We have thought about adopting an older cat, since our last two had to be euthanased a few years ago. However, life is what happens when you are planning other things. Once I've been given the (relatively) all clear after my follow up CT scan today, we might give this...

    Yes, he's a beautiful pussycat. I never really thought about cats being smart or not, until we got a brown spotted tabby, called "Tigger" of course. He wasn't the brightest, but very much loved. After our Siamese, "Twinky", died at 18.5 y.o., she was sharp as a scalpel, we eventually got two...
