In January, Daniel and I went up to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to "get" some snow and visit Daniel's parents. We had to figure out what to do with Dos. We knew we couldn't take him with us because he would try and kill my mother-in-law's cats (those cats already are trying to kill each other to see who is king of the hill). Mary said she didn't mind helping out and taking him. That was a relief except Dos has developed an only-child syndrome. He definitely doesn't like dogs, or any other animal. But like the mother I will probably be (I learned from the best), I basically told him "buck it up, you're going". The only thing I worried about was he would freak and scratch Frankie to death. Well, after a rather lovely snowy weekend we came back. Not only was Dos a better cat/child/dog, he actually seemed glad to see us, and once we got him home he never wanted to leave. Mary informed me that she and Juston renamed our cat "Toonces" from Saturday Night Live. So here is to our cat's new nickname.
Funny thing is he really does use his paw at the table like that!
