Possibly my favorite picture from the day...

I got a new hat!

Post a non religious picture you think of as holy.

This might show the scale better. He was a beast.

Here's me with my big dummy, decades ago.

This, of course, makes me think of a meat butterfly. Like this one!

This reminds me: when I was radioactive for a couple of weeks last year (cancer treatments), I made a *point* of biting a variety of things. Like: this is a mantis shrimp that's literally been bitten by a radioactive Doug.

This is how I access Bluesky.

Walter and I can relate.

Barry the Somali kitty thinks this kind of thing can be fun.

I can relate!

Look at the gift @lizardincrimson.bsky.social managed to find for me!

On it.

That's Walter, my Maine Coon girl who *loves* snuggling. (Yes, she's a purebreed, but she's *also* a rescue.)

It isn't *always*. cite:

To make a toy for ours, my wife had to start with a dog toy, take out one of the squeekers, and replace it with a catnip pouch. She's an *enormous* cat. And a complete sweetie.

Said cat when we've forgotten her lunch:

Said cat when she's in a good mood:

It was this little sweetie. Terrible picture, yes, but I took it on a digital camera I got in the 1990s (which is when we got her, too).

Hey, I found a *surefire* way to 100% prevent cavities in at least two of my teeth!

You have no idea!

This is Walter.

She's such a master of stealth.

It was a lot of work to get into (and out of!), but I think I'm ready for tomorrow. But only because @lizardincrimson.bsky.social helped me put it on and take it off -- it's not a one-person job.

Sometimes Walter sits in things that aren't quite the right size for her as well.
