  • Visitors

    Yesterday I had a couple of four-legged houseguests for a few hours! Our friends Jenn and Stephen were having an open house for their condo and needed a place to stow their kitties for a few hours. Chris is pretty allergic, so we tucked them in the bathroom for their stay. I opened the door so I could peek in and see how they were doing:

    And then I just ended up going in and sitting with them for a while. Of course I had to bring my camera for a quick portrait session. Here’s Boney:

    And here’s Max:

    Aren’t they both so handsome?!

  • Meet Charlie

    In the interest of posting about things other than Flourish, I thought I’d introduce you to Charlie.

    I love all animals, but I’m mostly a dog person. Chris and I aren’t home enough so we haven’t figured out how to work a dog into our lifestyle, but I have to have an animal around. Something that I can keep in a cage for a reasonable amount of time while we’re not here works out well. So Chris and I brought Charlie home about seven months ago, and he’s finally starting to like us. It was hard for a while when he was mostly just terrified of us and everything that we did – if we walked by the cage too fast he lost about half of his feathers flapping around in sheer terror. But I have been determined to make this bird like me, and I think we’re getting somewhere now.

    Or maybe we’ve just learned to walk by a little slower. Who is training who?
