Good & Stinky

 Tanji and Uschi have made a marvelous discovery: a

laundry bag full of dirty fleece bedding from the rattie cage.

 Uschi's tail is indicating that this is a really good stink.

 Mmmm, this is heaven.

 Uh-oh, someone's coming.

 Vladi gets a deep breath-full too.

 Wow, that's really wonderful.

Now Vlad smells good enough to lick.

Vladi's Pink Friend

 Somehow Vladi missed seeing the giant fleece cupcake

until today.

My head fits in here.

(He checked four or five times just to be sure)

 A loving swipe.

 Thank-you for my cupcake!

(Nope, its headed back to the ratties)

 Oh no, it just attacked me!

(It didn't)

Kick, kick kick.

Cupcake

 Wow! What's this?

 Uschi is fairly sure this is for him, after all, its pretty too.

 Its actually a nest for our newest family members: five rats

who live at school (more on them soon).

 This seems a bit small for me.

At least it smells good.

Nap for T

 We got home early enough for one of Tanji's favorite things:

curling up on the bed with a reading or napping parent.

 Tanji's tail circles the perimeter like a shark fin trailing prey.
After a few rounds, T pops up next to the pillows...

Hiiiiiiiii, what'cha doing?

A bit of traveling up and down the bed...

 Then its time to find an open area of fleece blanket to knead

and plop down on.

A little gentle meowing to make sure none of this went unnoticed,
and then its cuddle time.

More Time at Home

Today was a 13+ hour work day for both of us,

hopefully the last for some time.

We've gotten a lot done, but the price is high,

we come home to the most guilt-inducing

situation possible...

 Tanji waiting for attention and Fancy Feast.

Luckily we are quickly forgiven.

We're Coming Back!

O.K., its been a shamefully long time since the last T,U,V posting.

Life has gotten busy, something like:

"Work, work some more, walk the boys, feast, everyone asleep,
and repeat."

 So, its all been awesome, but blogging got temporarily put aside.

 We're getting a grip and will be back soon...
