FRIDAY CRITTER BLOGGING….Since we’re now living in the post-partisan Obama era, it’s time for cats and dogs to live together. So today you get both. On the right we have Kona, my friend M’s German Shepherd. (Right? Looks like a German Shepherd to me, anyway. But I’m not all that handy with dog breeds.) I told M I’d introduce Kona to the blogosphere if she sent me a picture, and this popped into my inbox a couple of days later. An impressive critter indeed.

And you get cats too! Inkblot and Domino are taking the week off again because I was over visiting my mother a few days ago and took lots of pictures of her new kittens. On the left is Lily, the shy one, catching some rays on the window sill. On the right are Ditto and Tillamook, curled up together in a little sibling pile of fur. Ditto is the black-and-white one who looks just like Lily (duh), and he’s busily grooming a blissed out Tillamook in this picture. A few minutes later I went upstairs to bring down the Christmas tree, and shortly after that both cats were entranced. No breakable ornaments on the tree this year!
