My entries...

A horse, a horse, of course, of course...

Don't know his name, but he was (is!) a Tennessee Walker. Very friendly fellow, as they often are.

Susie Grace

Next to our us is a small apartment complex. There's a wooden fence between us and immediately on the other side is the backyard deck of one of the apartment buildings. The dirt below the deck on our side has washed out a bit and over the years we've seen several litters of cats issue forth from under the deck. This little girl was one of them, a little grey fuzzball of a kitten. She apparently got pregnant very early in life and brought her three kittens into our carport. We never adopted her (although a neighbor later did) but since she was grey and graceful we called her Gracie ...and yes, there was also a George in the vicinity -- for a while at least. She was very sweet natured, as you'd guess from the photo. She probably charmed herself a nice diet from most of the neighborhood homes. Later the neighbor adopted her (unknown to us) and named her Susie... hence our later revision to "Susie Grace".

Basket case

Boom loves boxes. And baskets. And pretty much anything else he can jam himself into. My wife bought this basket to fix up as a table centerpiece. Well, it was first a Boom centerpiece. He must've spent quite a while getting jammed entirely down into it, because when I removed him, I got the one and only hiss that I've ever received from him.
