Peaches n Gracie


Peaches has Gracie completely buffalo'd. Peaches attacks the tail, feet, nose, whatever, and Gracie heads for higher ground. She's gentle, so I doubt she'll bite, but I'm waiting for her to plant a paw on the pest. Of course, she *has* been playing with Peaches, so I have hopes......

Meet Peaches


I decided to make my life a bit more interesting, and adopt a kitten. I'd been thinking about getting QT some company for a bit, and see if she'll stop bitching quite so much. So, here goes....

Peaches is a little boy, about 6 weeks old. Good overall health, but a bit of an eye infection. He was named "Remus" but that didn't really fit, and mom has a dog with that name. The name "Peaches" comes from both "Georgia Peach" and "Peaches and Cream" - he's pretty feisty, so perhaps the name won't make a wuss out of him.... Anyway, he came from my vet's office - they had a couple, so I got the smallest one to give QT more time to set the pecking order.

The grumpy badger herself is none too impressed - she's been mostly hissing and saying bad things, but at least no outright attacks. Gracie is supercurious, and a bit jealous. Still, she's tried to play with him a bit, and he's not afraid of her, so it's a good start.

Savannah

Wow. I finally made it to Savannah, GA. Cara had a conference there, so I joined her for the weekend. She did her conference during the day, I played tourist, and we got a chance to explore a bit in the evening. I think I got the better end of the deal.

It's everything everyone says about it - a cool, old city. It's great to walk around someplace that's designed for people, not cars.

We even got to see Lady Chablis' act - If you read the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" Lady Chablis is the drag queen, and a real person. What a cool show....
