The Weekend in Black and White

This is Stubby—part Manx (and part Tasmanian
devil), I believe—who left us last year.  He had
a tough life until we rescued him and he never
 let anyone forget it.  It took him a very long time to 
accept any kind of affection, but ultimately we came to
an "understanding"—strictly on his terms, of course.

abc wednesday —H is for "helpful"

This is Stubby, who is always willing to assist me
when I'm at the computer. He keeps my place
in the notebook and whenever I need to turn on caps lock 
(and even if I don't), he's right there with a helping paw.
It's all good—but I could do without the attitude.

Thursday Challenge: Home

Home is where the cats are—and Stubby 

likes to make himself at home whenever I'm

trying to work on the computer—he's 

giving me that look because he thinks I'm 

about to make him move (as if to say, "Don't even

try it, lady!"). I let him stay, but only because

he wasn't actually lying ON the keyboard—for a change.
