On Tuesday morning, Linda asked me if I was doing anything today. She said she'd bring the baby over this morning. The morning is almost over and no sign of them yet.

Mouse used to be an outdoor cat before she was given over to the shelter. I once had a cat that was beaten almost to death by a nasty neighbor and I swore I would never let any of my cats roam around outdoors again. Still, we knew that Mouse would enjoy being outdoors now and then so we got a leash for her. She was in her glory the day these pictures were taken.

"Wait a minute ... who invited you?"

Buddy obviously wants to know what's going on. "Go away!" Mouse hisses. "You weren't invited!"

"But I want to get on the table and get petted too, it looks like fun!"

"Thank you for saving me but you can let go now ... you can let go now ...oh come on, let go already!"

QOTD:

Today is the filing deadline for Americans to file their income taxes. If this applies to you, have you files yours? Did you have to pay or are you due a refund?

Our federal has been filed but I'm not sure TB's even finished filling out the state. We're getting a small refund, I think. We might have to pay on the state ... I'm not sure.

Are you a person who is usually ahead of deadlines or are you a person who stretches it to the last minute?

It depends on which benefits me more.

8. Do you think it's fair that if a common person had a sex tape released his/her life would basically go down the crapper, but when a celebrity's tape pops up, he/she gains even more fame?
