There is a raccoon on the top deck. In broad daylight. Scolding me because there are no peanuts out for him (I haven’t been able to find Critter Crunch at the store in a while). It’s sniffing around most suspiciously,…
Mean Cats
Damn. Yesterday Moonstone attacked G’s ear because she was trying to get him out of the garage, back into the house. She bled all over the place—I mean, we had to wash blood out of the sweater she was wearing…
