[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:02:41 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:02:44 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello KK
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:02:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> hullo KK
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:02:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi, KK!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:02:49 PM EST] <KK> Hello, all!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:02:56 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi KK
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:03:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yay for the first, boo to the latter, Nezz
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:03:09 PM EST] <DesertRose> How is your new lap-warmer doing, KK?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:03:20 PM EST] <Laurna> I am with Evie on that
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:03:23 PM EST] <DesertRose> BRB, need to attend to supper.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:03:39 PM EST] <Laurna> Does Daphne have a new name?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:03:43 PM EST] <KK> She's doing great. If someone can tell me how to post a pic from my phone, I can show you what she looks like.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:03:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yes, how is Daphne?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:03:47 PM EST] <bynw> Hi KK
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:04:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> What kind of phone?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:04:25 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi bynw. Are you all moved in?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:04:28 PM EST] <KK> No, Daphne seems to fit her. She's a petite little thing, though I'm convinced she's grown just in the week she's been here. She's 10 months old.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:04:40 PM EST] <KK> Android.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:04:58 PM EST] <KK> And Daphne is definitely a lap cat cuddler.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:04:58 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> How are she and Booker getting along?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:05:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> If you're on Discord from your phone, if you click that + button to the left of the text edit bar, you should be able to upload it from your photo gallery
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:05:07 PM EST] <Laurna> Sweet, Love makes of a spirt ofgrowth
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:05:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh, I can't help with an android...
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:05:17 PM EST] <KK> They're getting on fine, except when he starts romping. That's a bit scary.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:05:37 PM EST] <KK> I'm on my laptop.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:05:43 PM EST] <Laurna> Cute that Booker wants to romp.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:05:46 PM EST] <KK> Er, desktop.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:06:49 PM EST] <KK> How about if I were to text some pics to one of you, and then you could post it.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:06:52 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Any progress with the camera?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:07:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Oh. In that case if you can get the photo to your laptop, it works the same way basically, though you need to use the + icon to the left of where you type and then upload it from whatever folder it's in. Though I have Discord on my phone too, and for me it's easier for me to just open Discord on my phone to attach the pic. Or you can also use the Share icon in your photo gallery and share it to this channel in Discord, if you have Di
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:07:39 PM EST] <KK> I think my friend fixed it. And Cameron is going to connect to my computer to test it.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:07:46 PM EST] <KK> Remotely, of course.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:07:56 PM EST] <Laurna> Send it to DR or Bwnw because they are on IRC. that way it will share with everyone
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:07:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> You can text pics to me and I can save them to post.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:08:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Greetings, all
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:08:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:08:10 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello Shiral
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:08:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Or yeah, what Laurna said since I"m not on IRC
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:08:23 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> HI Shiral
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:08:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> KK, I hear you've been adopted by a new fur person!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:09:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> hi Shiral
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:09:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> KK may be briefly afk while trying to text a pic to someone to share here
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:10:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝equips chat table with tea and cookies␝
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:10:38 PM EST] <KK> Just texted you 2 pics, Evie.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:10:38 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Love hot tea
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:11:13 PM EST] <Laurna> Everyone get through are last cold spell. We were down to Ice temp for two nights.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:11:17 PM EST] <KK> Evie should now have 2 pics. Daphne is a very pretty lady.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:12:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> We had a cold spell that lasted all last week. Today, I took my afternoon walk without needing a jacket
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:12:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> DR, are you there? I can post these, but folks on IRC won't be able to see them if I do it
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:12:33 PM EST] <KK> On the more good news front, my old house is now emptied save for some stuff to go to a local consignment store tomorrow. It's been a very productive week.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:12:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I only have Discord
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:12:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm very pleased I didn't have to leave the house while the weather was in single digits. And we had to be outside for a funeral yesterday, but 25 in the afternoon sun with no wind is not any big deal if you're used to it.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:12:40 PM EST] <Laurna> 29 night before last and 80F tommarrow

[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:12:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Excellent news, KK
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:12:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> KK, way to go! 🙂
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:12:54 PM EST] <Laurna> hello Bee
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:12:55 PM EST] <KK> Hi, Bee.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:12:57 PM EST] <The_Bee> What news?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:12:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> hi Bee
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:13:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That will be a big relief for you
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:13:08 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Bee
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:13:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Bee
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:13:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Daphne
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:13:36 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hello to all! What's K's news? Cat stuff?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:13:37 PM EST] <KK> Daphne is settling in nicely; I've pretty much finished emptying the old house save for what's there for staging. Photos this week.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:13:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝pours a cup of tea. Magic tea pot will pour whatever tea you like best.␝
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:14:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> She's making herself right at home, I see!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:14:13 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> What a pretty kitty
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:14:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I posted the pics, but if you can't see them, someone who has both Discord and IRC might need to repost them so people on IRC can see them
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:14:23 PM EST] <Laurna> Nezz did you say it was 25F yesteday at the funeral. That is a bit chill
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:14:34 PM EST] * The_Bee sets out fresh, warm manchet bread with butter, honey and strawberry preserves.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:14:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hang tight a second and I'll get the pics where everyone can see.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:14:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Awww, cute li'l bebe!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:15:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Nice distinct tabby "M" on her forehead
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:15:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi everyone! And purrs for Daphne
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:15:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Laurna, yeah, 25 degrees. But it was sunny and actually rather pleasant. Beautiful day for it.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:15:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh dear, whose funeral?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:15:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> My father-in-law passed. He was 98.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:16:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A good long run
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:16:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm sorry for the loss. But he clearly had good innings
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:16:12 PM EST] <Laurna> I am glad the day was pleasant under the circumstances.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:16:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> A good, long life
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:16:29 PM EST] <The_Bee> Was it a good life?  I hope you all have many good memories.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:16:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh he sure did. And he raised the best family you've ever seen. Happy to be a part of it.

[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:17:02 PM EST] <KK> Excellent! May all your memories of him be for a blessing.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:17:06 PM EST] <The_Bee> Myy mom was 98 when she died.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:17:07 PM EST] <DesertRose> There we go. Both pics on that link.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:17:08 PM EST] <Laurna> That is the best way to live
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:17:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Cute kitty
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:17:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Daphne likes the same spot on your bed that Dmitri does on mine, KK
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:17:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Daphne looks very much like Gigi
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:18:02 PM EST] <Laurna> What a cutty, I just want to tickle that tail and watch it swish back and forth.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:18:05 PM EST] <KK> She migrates. That was actually only her 2nd night home.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:18:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Never met a cat that spent a whole night in just ONE spot
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:18:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> She seems like a very good little snugglefuzz.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:18:59 PM EST] <KK> She cuddles on my lap while I watch tv, for hours, or unti I heed to get up to pee.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:19:13 PM EST] <KK> until I need
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:19:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Gigi tends to spend the night in one spot....either my hip (if I'm side sleeping) or my chest if I roll on my back.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:19:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> She only moves if I roll over and she loses her preferred spot
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:20:13 PM EST] <KK> She's got a powerful purr, too. Just jumped up on my lap at computer, to help me type.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:20:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> ␝waves to Miss D␝
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:20:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We will excuse all typos
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:20:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I'm sure she's a great help with typing. 😄
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:21:17 PM EST] <KK> Hopefully, we'll be back on Zoom next week, and you can see her live and in living color!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:21:21 PM EST] <The_Bee> Will Daphne get the blame for rented fingers?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:21:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Yay!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:21:45 PM EST] <KK> Probably.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:21:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or rented paws?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:21:53 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Looking forward to being back on zoom. Have missed it
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:22:05 PM EST] <KK> me too.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:22:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ALL cats love to help with typing.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:22:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Even if they mess things up instead
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:22:55 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Well they think they do a good job
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:23:20 PM EST] <KK> Cats are enormously talented.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:25:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Change of subject: Any of y'all seen the movie ␝Little Boy␝?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:25:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys says hi. She is currently curled up in my left arm because she is a baby and must always be held.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:25:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> No?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:25:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not familiar with it
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:25:38 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> scritches to Carys
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:25:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> ␝skritchies for the kitty-baby␝
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:26:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys purrs at everyone.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:26:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> High recommendations for ␝Little Boy.␝ Very sweet movie. Family friendly. Independently made, I think.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:26:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Last movie I saw was West Side Story on New Year's Eve
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:26:44 PM EST] <KK> Haven't heard of it.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:27:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> It was made in 2015, so you'd have to watch in on Amazon or DVD or whatever.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:27:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I haven't seen a movie in ages
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:27:17 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I saw West Side Story and it was great !!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:27:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> If you get the chance, I recommend it highly.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:27:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I agree, DFK. Thought it was a great new version
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:27:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'll see if I can locate Little Boy
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:28:40 PM EST] <KK> What's it about?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:29:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> A kid whose father has gone to war (WWII) and wants to develop "the faith of a mustard seed" and bring his father home from the war.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:30:06 PM EST] <KK> Sounds like a winner.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:30:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Incredibly moving, and absolutely heart-breaking in places, although it ends well.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:30:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Sounds very poignant
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:30:39 PM EST] <The_Bee> Who is in it?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:30:54 PM EST] <KK> Daphne is intently studying the monitor, which she's never seen before. If I were to bring up a fish video, she'd probably freak. Seems to be pretty smart.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:31:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> No big names, but you'll probably recognize Kevin James and possibly the guy who plays the dad (name escapes me).
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:31:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Will she catch the fish?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:31:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Luke used to bat at my screen saver, which looked like floating, popping soap bubbles
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:31:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oooh, you can show her Cat TV
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:31:43 PM EST] <KK> She's following the cursor when I move it around.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:31:55 PM EST] <KK> With her paw.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:32:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Daphne, so not eat KK's mouse!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:32:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> 🐟 🐟
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:32:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> My cat Beaker used to stare in fascination at the flying mounts in World of Warcraft.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:32:14 PM EST] <Laurna> That is so cute
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:32:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I sometimes play a cat channel on YouTube for Gigi while I'm fixing dinner or something
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:32:29 PM EST] <The_Bee> When we're on zoom, maybe I can show her Melantha's floppy fish she got for Christmas
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:32:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> She'll probably be fascinated by Zoom chats, then!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:33:08 PM EST] <bynw> if you can get a copy of the dvd Video Cantip ... some cats will go crazy with it
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:33:20 PM EST] <KK> We can give it a try. I found Gus's old cat-fisher toy at the old house, and have brought it home for Daphne. She hasn't seen it yet.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:33:39 PM EST] <Laurna> My dogs only watch TV when a dog or a horse cross the screen. I do not think they even notice if another Cat is on the TV
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:34:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Luke almost never noticed what was on the screen, but Gigi sometimes watches
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:34:19 PM EST] <KK> Laurna! I have to tell you about my Cavalier King Charles adventure.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:34:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri sat in my lap while I watched the Olympics. He didn't pay much attention even to the swoopy skiing
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:34:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:34:34 PM EST] <The_Bee> Tell!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:34:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh, do tell!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:34:52 PM EST] <KK> My dentist has two puppies, and had then in a pen in her reception area when I was there a couple of weeks ago. A boy and a girl.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:35:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Awww!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:35:27 PM EST] <KK> One is tricolor--Blenheim?--and the other is black and white.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:35:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Cute!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:35:36 PM EST] <Laurna> OH KK. love it
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:36:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> If my dentist had Cavalier puppies, I would be there every week! (I hate going to the dentist)
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:36:18 PM EST] <Laurna> Blenheims are the red and white. Tricolor are the black and white with tan markins.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:36:36 PM EST] <Laurna> I would love a Blenheim girl
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:36:57 PM EST] <KK> Ah. Well, one of hers she said is a Blenheim; that may be her boy.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:37:16 PM EST] <KK> If they're still there next time I go, I'll try to get a picture.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:37:30 PM EST] <Laurna> Nice. Love at the dentist office.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:37:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I would love a Cavalier. Any colour would be fine
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:37:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> We'll look forward to pics, KK.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:38:06 PM EST] <KK> I suspect that once they reach a certain age, she won't bring them to the office anymore.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:38:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Love at the dentist office seems a bit...weird!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:38:34 PM EST] <Laurna> Jerusha I thought the same as I typed it.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:38:40 PM EST] <The_Bee> Are they always as sweet-natured as the few I've seen?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:39:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> They are cuddly packages of love at first sight
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:39:05 PM EST] <Laurna> Mostly, though some can be quiet shy
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:39:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> My male was a bit shy
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:39:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's dangerous to feed my puppy urge....
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:39:35 PM EST] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:40:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Although IF were to succumb to that ailment, I'd be either looking for a Corgi, or adopting from a shelter.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:40:15 PM EST] <The_Bee> The pigmy lions might object to a canine house-guest.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:40:16 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Awwww, Love is a warm puppy
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:40:23 PM EST] <KK> Wasn't it Corgis for you, Shiral?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:40:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Pygmy Lions would have their noses VERY much out of joint
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:40:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Corgis are aawfully dang adorable!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:40:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes, KK. Blame the Queen
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:40:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Corgies are a very strong low to the ground dog
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:41:12 PM EST] <Laurna> I think Corgis are adorable
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:41:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But their faces are so darned appealing. They're small enough, but not TOO small
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:41:21 PM EST] <DesertRose> Did you get those Corgi-butt cookie cutters?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:41:32 PM EST] <The_Bee> bred to herd cattle, low to dodge horns
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:41:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> Or am I imagining things, Shiral?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:41:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝blushes, hangs head and whispers. "yes."␝
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:41:47 PM EST] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:41:49 PM EST] <DesertRose> Do not blush. They are cute and silly.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:42:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> They are. I haven't actually made any corgi cookies, yet
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:42:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> And hey, I have seen many a pattern for cat-butt coasters, in crochet or knit or cross-stitch.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:42:17 PM EST] <Laurna> I love the comparrison pictures of loaves of bread to Corgi butts
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:42:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Butt I want another cookie?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:42:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝equips chatroom table with corgi-shaped shortbread cookies␝
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:43:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Yay! Corgi-butt cookies!!!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:43:19 PM EST] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/TZ6jeMhO/image.png
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:43:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I had a corgi niece for a time. But Maddie eventually had to cross the rainbow bridge
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:43:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:43:40 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh, I can't link it here because language, but one of the people I follow on Tumblr has a reservation dog and a Corgi puppy, and they told a truly hilarious story about the reservation dog "stalking" a horse and doing a perfect "point" and the Corgi copying his big brother.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:44:26 PM EST] <KK> Corgi breads are adorable.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:44:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That is, I was laughing out loud at the Corgi bread photos, not at Maddie's deminse
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:44:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> demise
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:45:09 PM EST] <The_Bee> But please don't eat the corgi! ;(
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:45:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> No corgi sandwiches.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:45:26 PM EST] <Laurna> But which one is which. LOL
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:45:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Just cookies
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:46:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I think Araxie needs a nice brace of sight hounds. I'm pretty sure she has enough space for them.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:47:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Salukis from Andalon would be perfect
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:48:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh, there's a nice thought. 😀
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:48:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> With a falcon for hunting
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:48:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Or some borzois from Torenth
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:48:44 PM EST] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/zEZITGlQ/image.png
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:49:02 PM EST] <KK> I saw a photo today, probably on Facebook, of cat-butt cookies with a candy kiss placed strategically.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:49:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Pretty pupper
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:49:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nice Afghan
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:49:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Dog looks like it just came back from an expensive salon!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:49:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I was thinking of some of those that are a little smaller than grayhounds... name escapes me
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:49:28 PM EST] <KK> Whippits?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:49:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Whippets
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:49:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Whippets!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:49:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> yeah
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:49:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Those would do nicely!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:50:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Just make sure you don't drop a tray of pheasants around them
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:50:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I'll keep that in mind... 🙂
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:50:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or anything remotely looking like food
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:50:33 PM EST] <KK> That would not be good, except for the whippets.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:50:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Definitely messy
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:50:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> lol
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:50:54 PM EST] <Laurna> LOL SHiral.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:51:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I never had to worry about crumbs under the table when we had the whippets
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:51:36 PM EST] <Laurna> Nor do I
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:51:39 PM EST] <KK> How many did you have?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:52:08 PM EST] <KK> At the same time.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:52:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Saw a cartoon once of this couple eating their supper in a room full of cats. The husband says "I'll bet it's been years since a crumb fell all the way to the floor."
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:52:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We had two; a male and a female (both fixed/neutered)
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:52:26 PM EST] <KK> Cool.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:52:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Never had to worry about a blanket at night
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:52:57 PM EST] <Laurna> I bet they were fast little dogs.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:53:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> KK, are you still thinking of getting a companion cat for Daphne?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:53:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Absolute rockets
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:53:35 PM EST] <KK> Not at this point. She deserves all my attention for now.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:53:44 PM EST] <The_Bee> ah, ok
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:53:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Some cats are very happy being an only cat
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:54:44 PM EST] <The_Bee> My brother's LOVES being an only cat.  She's outlived two others.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:55:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri is always chasing Tati around. Then I'll find them on my bed washing one another's faces
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:55:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> My four currently have bets on which of them are going to last the longest. Frankie is currently the odds-on favorite.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:55:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Even though Gigi mostly got on OK with Luke, I can tell now that she is much happier as an only cat. Luke was very much an attention hog, and we thought Gigi was just naturally more stand-offish, but she's become much more of a lap kitty lately
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:56:01 PM EST] <The_Bee> Mickey used to chase Melantha, but they may have grown too old.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:56:11 PM EST] <KK> I forget, what happened to Luke?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:56:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Now we realize there was a pecking order, and Gigi was only allowed to have lap time if Luke wasn't interested in being in that person's lap.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:57:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> He ended up dying of kidney failure after having a few months on kitty dialysis, which gave him a little extra quality time before the end.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:57:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> He also had thyroid issues
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:57:50 PM EST] <KK> Ah, kidney failure. I've had several cats go that way. Not happy.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:58:04 PM EST] <The_Bee> Melantha is at risk for kidney disease. and is hyper-thyroid.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:58:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> No. Lost both Izzy and Nina to kidney failure
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:58:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Lost the male whippet to kidney disease
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:58:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> Melantha doesn't act sick, but she's frequently yowling.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [7:59:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> I need to get her more medicine.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:00:46 PM EST] <KK> Folks, I'm fading. It's been a long and intense week, and I've got RotoRooter coming sometime tomorrow to the old house to replace toilet tank innards in one bathroom--ran up a ginormous water bill before we caught it!--and to fix a sink leak in another. They won't tell you what time they're coming until they're like 15 min. out, so |I have to be up and
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:00:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Luke was mostly OK once we started the IV treatment, but on his last day he just overnight suddenly lost energy to do anything, including eating peas (though he still wanted to sniff them), so we knew it was time to say goodbye. The kids came home to be with him, and he seemed happy to see them, though by that point he couldn't get up and walk, though he purred at all the attention.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:01:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> You take good care of yourself, KK. 🙂
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:01:07 PM EST] <KK> dressed by 8 or so, since it takes 20 min. to get to the old house.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:01:12 PM EST] <Laurna> Have a good Week KK
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:01:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Have a good week
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:01:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Thanks for coming to see us, KK. Have a good week. Ear scritches to Daphne and Booker from me
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:01:22 PM EST] <Laurna> Can we Zoom Next week?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:01:37 PM EST] <KK> But let's plan on Zoom next week. It will be good to get back.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:01:37 PM EST] <Laurna> To see the kitty
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:01:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Sleep well, KK
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:01:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Have a good week, KK
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:01:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> Thanks for coming, KK. Have a good and productive week. Cuddle Daphne for all of us.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:01:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Is early chat still two hours earlier?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:02:02 PM EST] <KK> I hope to saw many logs tonight!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:02:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Ad pat Booker, too. We don't want him to feel neglected. =o)
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:02:29 PM EST] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:02:36 PM EST] <The_Bee> Early chat 3pm Eastern?
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:02:37 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Have a good week KK. Looking forward to zoom next week
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:02:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> goodnight, KK!
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:02:46 PM EST] <KK> Nighters, all.
[Sunday, February 27, 2022] [8:02:58 PM EST] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: https://mibbit.com Online IRC Client).
