Sunday Critters #3

Spent some time this afternoon in the presence of this young lady.

Always fantastic, as is this distinguished gentleman.

And since the third was so happy to see me I won't put a picture of her, she hates cameras.

Sunday Critters #2

Right, I know. I've been neglectful. But let's not dwell on the past, shall we? I know I'm sorry, you know I'm sorry. Bygones should really be bygones. But, I will offer up the following pictures as evidence of my sincerity.

I've posted once before about my friends pups, but I house sat for them a couple weeks ago and got some good pics. Like this one of Zelda sitting on my outstretched legs. Although, to be fair, if it comes out clear pretty much every picture of her is good. And Suki, of course. He's another one that doesn't really take bad pics and I like the lighting. I was particularly pleased with this one of Obe (cat) loving on Angel (dog). Angel is terrified of cameras and Obe doesn't often make with the affection. So there you go, dogs and cats. Living together in harmony. I also got some pics of the food I made in their enormous kitchen, I'll post about that this week. Probably. Heh.

Sunday Critters #1

So, there have been some pretty big changes in my life lately. I've mostly kept the details of my personal life out of my blogging since not so many of them are about cooking, hence not too interesting. And honestly I don't really plan to change that. But I will sum up what's happened since otherwise there would probably be some confusion.

My girlfriend and I broke up a while ago and I've moved, I'm staying with a couple friends of mine until I can get a place of my own. They have a nice kitchen, even if their stove is electric. That took some getting used to. Heh. It took me a while to think up the needed nicknames for them, but since we'd recently been watching Spartacus, and to earn my keep I'm their houseboy, I've decided to go with Dominus and Domina (latin for lord and lady). It amuses me, but then I'm easily amused.

Unfortunately the real Bob couldn't move with me, so there won't be many pics of him for a while and Noodles will be staying with my ex girlfriend so I won't be able to share any more of her antics either. But despite all the unpleasantness, there is some silver lining. Sometime this week I'll tell you about the food related stuff, today it's going to be about the furry ones.

Like this little girl here. She is a longhair chihuahua named Zelda and she is cute enough that she really shouldn't be around people with heart problems. That is her "requesting" to be picked up and held. Notice, she just barely comes up to my knee at full extension.

Then there's Suki (also a longhair chihuahua). He's really more god than dog, I have some videos of him that I'll be sharing in the future. I blame him for my new, unmanly love of chihuahuas.

Angel is, arguably, the best dog in the world. A mysterious mix of chihuahua and something else she is ridiculously sweet, although terrified of almost everything. Like the camera, for example. She will be a challenging subject.

Here is Obi, he's a short hair Persian and this is how I will always think of him.Fast asleep, with his tongue sticking out. He feels like a stuffed animal.

Last but not least, the cat on the left is Maude. She is difficult to get pictures of since she doesn't come upstairs often. I'm guessing she'd rather not deal with all the dogs, even though Zelda loves her and always wants to play. Hm, on second thought that's almost certainly the reason. Heh.

So, some food posts later this week. I've found out some interesting things about my tastes since I've moved here. Like I like some Indian food. I never knew that.
