The Shado

Mary Ann and Wanda were the best of friends…

Image shows a hand holding a french press coffee pot in front of a white cabinet door. The press is about 25% full of sweet sweet nectar of life.

Hello, old friend… it’s been a while.

The really old Facebook Image Feedback dialog box. It reads "What's Going On?" followed by four options. Option 1: It's annoying or not interesting Option 2: I'm in this photo and I don't like it Option 3: I think it shouldn't be on Facebook Option 4: It's Spam Option 2 (I'm in this photo and I don't like it) is selected.

It's that kind of day. Only substitute "reality" for "Photo"

Image shows an orange cat’s belly and back legs, sitting on a human lap. The human is holding the cat’s left rear paw and the cat’s right rear leg is outstretched Upper center of the image, on the human’s left knee is a pair of cat nail clippers. The cat is very unhappy and this is not at all how she envisioned cuddle-time with dad when she jumped into his lap.

INDIGNITIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I shall think of a suitable punishment, T’umbslave!

Too bad we don’t know a potter stupid enough to build a ship out of clay…

Image shows a very green back yard. At the bottom is part of a concrete porch painted blue. Both a gray and red stone walkway are visible on either side of a support post for the porch overhang. A couple of potted bushes are visible in the background in front of a brown wooden fence

Image shows dog lying on a blue patterned rug on a brown wooden floor, happily covered in a brown towel, getting dried off after being out in the rain. It’s his favorite thing ever! (After food. And pets. And people. And food.)

A hand on the left side of the image holds a white plate bearing the meal described in the post. The pesto pasta topped with chicken is on the left side, and 8 brussel sprout halves carefully arranged are on the right side.

Tonight's dinner by Shado, included a slightly fancier than normal plating.

Farfalle Pasta in Pesto Cream Sauce topped with Pan-seared Chicken Thighs (dressed only with Salt and Pepper) with a side of roasted brussel sprouts drizzled with a Brown Sugar/Honey/Lemon Juice/Olive Oil glaze.

A Venn Diagram with two overlapping circles labelled “Chores I don’t want to do” and “Chores I need to do” The two circles intersect by more than 99% indicating these two data sets are the same.

Assembled Rabble of the Internet, I give you a Venn Diagram.

Today’s ADHD distraction: What have ai eaten in the last 48 hours that was so crunchy it was still crunchy when I pooped it out?

Image shows several animals in a bedroom: a giant brown dog lying on a rug, a gray car sitting on the foot of a bed, a ginger cat sitting on a box, and a black cat peeking around the corner of the bed. All are waiting expectantly for their bedtime treats.

Treato Positions!

I don’t know whether to be proud, or ashamed, that my dog understands how to eat food off a fork. Gently. He has better fork manners than some humans I know (including me)

Image shows an orange and white cat lying on a brown and tan blanket, eating from a plate of gooshy food in front of her.

Miss Velcro taking breakfast on the terrace this morning, instead of in the boudoir.

Me: How does your butt taste?

Gwydion (a cat): Butt-y dad. Which is not to be confused with buttery. Tho I also like butter.

Me: More or less than butt?

Gwydion: Differently dad. Just differently

Last night, Pancake was borking at a particularly sketchy weed that had sprouted up in our freshly mown back yard.

“I see sketchy things. Some of them don’t even know they’re sketch!”

Who has two thumbs and just burned himself to a blister on extra hot pop-tart filling?

This Guy!!

Are you really an American if you don’t have 50k in medical debt?

Father, tails are not for grabbing…

But, why handle-shaped if not handle?

“Gwydion! Everyone else is going to bed! That means it’s time to tussle!”

An image of a flatscreen TV with a reflection od 5 lightbulbs. All around the bulbs are several smears indicative of a cat poking its nose into the screen as it tries to catch the moving images on it.

Dear Kitten: why are there nose prints all over the TV screen? #catsky

A gray cat sitting on a lap, between his human and the keyboard the human is trying to use

“I don’t always sit in dad’s lap, but when I do, it’s when he’s trying to submit a job application.” #catsky

Something something the sun wasn’t even awake yet

Kings of Tupelo on Netflix was a wild, wild ride. And Lys may hate me for making her watch it

Sometimes, not often mind you, but sometimes you just have to drink a glass of Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup.

You had me at “feta.”

A photo of an orange and white kitty, on a brown blanket in a human’s lap, underneath a TV tray, licking the end of a human finger to eat the tasty tasty soup.

Velcro, the amazing orange kitty was all comfy asleep in mom’s lap until I brought mom some Chicken Tortilla Soup. Then Velcro woke up and demanded @lys1022.bsky.social share it with her.

Here’s what I got:

The moon is amazing tonight. An almost perfect bowl in tue sky. Wish my phone camera could get a good photo.

“Get you a partner that looks at you the way my dog looks at food.”

@lys1022.bsky.social, talking about #Pancake. #Dogsky
