Ok the kitten still doesn't have a name, though after he got spooked and took off with harness and retractable lead in tow, shithead comes to mind. Fortunately our neighbor was able to corral him. We have had some new suggestions following the mountain/volcano theme. Ken suggested Mt Doom, Beth suggested Raineer, and Pop suggested K2 (after all he is our second kitten). Though I think Michele might have picked it when she suggested humbug. Let us know what you think. 9:18:21 PM     Comment []

Our government needs to get back to its Republican roots and relearn what a democracy is. 11:43:16 AM     Comment []
