I had Kirby downstairs with me during lunch and was trying to get him to try a piece of pasta when I heard the chipmunk outside. When I looked out the window, he was actually in the bottom of the window...was after I came down that I realized I should grab the camera, but by then he'd actually left. Strange. We've had other critters look into the house, but that's the first time I've caught the chipmunk

...force-fed the rats by shoving plastic tubes down their throats and then cut open the rats' legs to expose arteries, which were clamped shut to block blood flow. After the experiment, the animals were killed. Mars also supported an experiment in which baby mice were crammed into small Plexiglas chambers—which were each about half the size of a 12-ounce soda can—and submerged them for nearly...

I could get a lot more accomplished on that to-do list if I didn't have to get up every couple of minutes to check up on the dogs.

I haven't posted much lately because (as is the case often of late) there hasn't really been anything going on. Work, days off and then wasting those days of lazing around. I took one of the sets of shelves...it. There's a lot of "ifs" in my life lately. It's like a MetLife ad from hell. If only, if this happens, etc. It's very frustrating. I applied for a couple more jobs. Still no word on either of them

Had to finally share a photo of Cordy's pretty green eyes! I thought this one was really neat thanks to the reflection of the sign behind her.

LOOK AT HIS CUTE LITTLE FACE. They had a few clutches of black/whites this year, and they are so short and squat and sweet and PATTERNED LIKE COWS. SNAKE COWS. And they only need tiny tanks with little more than bedding and a water dish. Man, do I want one. -H
