He hops right out of his carrier and sings to me when I bring him his food now, it's SO CUTE

He has an ear that seems a little gloopy and I hope he will be just as polite about letting me clean him up

Maurice let me give him some brushies while he ate breakfast today. He is unsure of the concept but didn't seem to hate the experience! We will return later to make more progress. I want this boy FLUFFED.

He seems much more relaxed; I don't think he threw much of a fit last night! We lined the tub with bath mats and popped his lil house on top, and he seems snug as a bug in there this morning

Drag racing has a whole section of its own with Shirley Muldowney as the protagonist!

I think he just feels hemmed in. I don't want him jumping but I'd rather have him climb on the bathroom counter than have him agitated trying to claw out of a smaller space. We put his lil soft house in the bathtub and he went right in there to go lay down so maybe this is the perfect space? I pray

This beautiful space did not even last 12 hours 😭 exactly when I went to sleep with him and Lunch, Bart began trying to tear a hole in The Octagon while screaming. We've moved him to the bathroom (not the bathroom where Richard sleeps; ANOTHER bathroom) and will be praying for the best lmao

I somehow didn’t imagine BHJ to have a squeaky meow

Donate to Help Eliza and Family, organized by Tory Flatt Updade: Eliza has been found SAFE! However, with us needing to move soon, we could use some more help… Tory Flatt needs your support for Help Eliza and Family

Well the most incredible thing happened, we found our missing dog! She's been living in the woods for the last month, is skin & bones, and is covered in ticks. She faces a road to recovery & vet bills as we get on her on the road to recovery. Every little bit helps.

I mean no but now I'm getting concerned by the number of previously reasonable-seeming folks getting involved in this belief

I'm getting a little concerned about just how many people firmly believe that racing strategy should exclusively be "car go fast always" as opposed to being willing to understand how these drivers will have to balance new parameters to be successful, with speed only being one factor

Did you know that the first, permanent race track in the entire WORLD was built in Australia? 🀯 How's that for some #AustralianGP lore?

I about had a heart attack when I went to check on him and he WASN'T THERE!!!!!!!

Thankfully it just took a little boop on the butt and he immediately climbed out from under the ATV and walked right back into his lil enclosure

Brother Bart Harley Jarvis managed to succeed in an escape attempt from his enclosure today. His owie looks a little tender but otherwise we seem to have made it through this ordeal unscathed and ready for hand-fed tuna goop

I LOVE that!!!!! Joseph and Pizza both finally relaxed about it. They just nap normally instead of hiding under the chair in my office
