William Steig's Children's Book C D B! by Chris Dunmire:

On page 8 a hen sits contentedly on a nest of eggs.

On page 13 a boy is pointing down at his pet dog with the admonishment
I M A U-M B-N. U R N N-M-L.

in mailroom, I said the priority envelopes aren't here.
rg said "O, S A R!"
hee I like that. the elided words make for a fun voice.
s for yes - or, for it's or s as in S M-T. or E S N T-S. (boy crying on backcover of CDB)
a for they.

N Q.

so then I looked for the little yellow book full of these letter-names-said aloud make phonetic sentences (there does not seem to be a name for this? about the book just gets called "letter puzzles"). would not have found it but someone here knew it was maybe by Steig so ggl'd: childrens book letters steig.

safe hedgehog

hedgehog-friendly ice cream containers - Yahoo! News:
US fast food giant McDonald's announced it had gone hedgehog-friendly, following a long running campaign waged by British lovers of the prickly mammals. McDonald's said it had redesigned cups and lids for its McFlurry ice cream so that they were no longer a danger to the animals.
Relieved British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) chief executive Fay Vass said life would now be a lot easier for foraging hedgehogs with a taste for ice cream.McDonald's 'always said they were listening but nothing seemed to happen', she said.'Then we got press coverage and public support followed and they tried a different design.'
'We were getting quite a few calls, enough to concern us, so now it's one less danger for hedgehogs to worry about.' yay good.

Thanks to everybody for the nice comments...

mcassimatis, I am so touched by your comment, that you love this photo and others. Jack and Sofe are fine, thanks. I have been inspired by your comment to post the photos I have taken more recently. I haven't had time to take that many, though. Thanks again!

2002-12-19 20-35-00 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!:
I love this picture: the way they are looking right at me, so directly and intelligently; the way they are sitting right up next to each other like best buds.
Every time I look at Jack's face, especially, I am delighted.
This is my most favorite photo of cats that I haven't met.
The 'what shall we do now we're up here?' and 'brother & sisterly love' pics are close seconds. and Guardians of the Shed is lovely, as is the one of Jack leaning down from above and as 'cat on a warmish shed roof.' But this one, most of all, I keep coming back to look at.
How are your mogs doing these days? Will you be posting any more photos?



so this photo is December 2002 and brother-sister-love where they are little bittles is September so they are still really rather young here. On the cusp of non-kitten-hood? this is the one photo I think that is both in Kittens (Set) and Cats (Set). and then this one is put for comparison with photo of "2005-12-07 20-49-17" that makes me feel sad, bcs all grown up? but it's only 3 years later, they are still young kit cats! still the 'they grow up so quickly' oh we all do.

Willy the tortoise

Willy the Tortoise comes home - Yahoo! News
In this photo released by Kellie Copeland-Burnup via the Post and Courier, Willy, a tortoise, belonging to Kellie, walks past the family dog Sunday, Aug. 21, 2006, in Ridgeville, S.C. After a month on the lam, the 40-pound tortoise with a 2-foot-wide, gold-colored shell is back in the wading pool at his owner's home. Kellie reported the tortoise escaped about July 1. A local emergency medical services technician spotted Willy on Sunday along a rural road about five miles away. oh! and brought him home, yay. During six weeks on the run, Willy averaged .005 mph, well short of a new land speed record. (AP Photo/Kellie Copeland-Burnup via the Post and Courier)

wasn't the cat named Willy too? -yes. (below.)
huh. that was the last time I looked at Yahoo photos (on sbc page).

Little Eastern Grey Squirrel. He was found by a friend who was taking care of him. His eyes had just openned the day before, he was so young we had to feed him formula from a tiny dropper. I like to think of squirrels as the little monkeys of North America.

there was a dog, speckled maybe, in a room with browns, maybe a bowl or some other object - a bag of dog food? an unpretty picture that I liked very well. gone? saved or marked on stolen computer?

willy's gloves

Willy, a 1-year-old cat is photographed Thursday, July 20, 2006, with a display of several pairs of garden gloves that he took from unknown yards in his neighborhood in Pelham, N.Y. Willy has brought home nine pairs of gloves and five singles over several weeks laying them on his owners' front or back porches. (AP Photo/Julie Jacobson) Feline felon suspected in glove thefts - Yahoo! News

Above the clothes line is a sign that says, in words and pictures, "Our cat is a glove snatcher. Please take these if yours."
On Thursday morning, nine pairs of gardening gloves and five singles were strung up, nicely framed by the Pifers' flourishing tomato and basil plants. Willy, looking innocent, was playing with a beetle under the Subaru in the driveway and occasionally dashing after Hudson.

Willy, born to a stray last spring and taken in by the Pifers as a newborn, stays out some nights but seems to assemble his collection in daytime raids.
Willy couldn't care less about the gloves after they're captured. On Thursday he could not be enticed into a grab-the-glove game.
Despite his criminal nature, neighbors get a kick out of Willy. Cassone said the cat likes to accompany the mailman up and down the block, all the way to each front door. Willy also likes to climb trees and bat at the heads of people below.
