I Really Like This.
StuffI found this on this site – which I’m not really (particularly) sure how I found. I’m not positive if I love the site that it came from – but I am sure that I do really like what I found.
It is an animated segment (a cartoon) done by Chris Ware for the “This American Life” series on Showtime.
I really really like the little drawings.

Today is for stories . . .
StuffTonight is the night that I get to go and tell some stories. Maybe you should come and listen to them . . . maybe – maybe – you haven’t even heard any of these stories before – or (more than likely) I just told them to you the other day.
Sometimes I am a chatty little bird.
Here are some of the words that nice nice MK put out in the world to tell you all about the stuff.

[update #18]
StuffIt was a huge weekend around the compound – which used to be known as “headquarters†but which got changed after we took a vote and decided to move in a slightly different direction for the time being.
[Wow – but wasn’t that (not) a confusing way to say that headquarters is now called the compound?!]
Anyway – part one of the large events revolve around my young ward – choco-latte. On Saturday morning, I was walking over to his “Chocolate Shack†(the naming of which was entirely his idea – including the capital letters) with some tasty food and water. When I got over to his area . . . there was no him to be found – no note – no nothing . . . just me standing there with a pitcher of water and some ucky dog food – which (after a big sigh from me) was promptly given to Mister Socks.
For those of you not in the know – as far as this particular situation goes . . . here is a “brief” update (it is the email that I sent around to shelters).
None of the shelters that I called would take him in – so I ended up having to call Dekalb County Animal Control. After a couple of conversations with the nice people – where they assured me that they were really pushing for adoptions of animals . . . I decided to let them come and get him. I did see chocol-latte’s “owner” at one point – to alert her of what was going on – and all she did was shrug . . . the dog wasn’t even worth a word out of her mouth – just the slightest of shrugs.
I guess that I have to imagine that he went to a place that is similar to that scene in the Wizard of Oz – just before they meet the Wizard – and he (choco-latte) is walking around with bows in his freshly cleaned and clipped fur with bright eyes looking at the world with refreshed vim and vigor . . . ready to go to his new life – as a paw model who works in Beverly Hills in between dropping lots of dollars on kibble and laughing it up with the ladies.
The alternative makes me (even more) depressed.
I wish that I would have gotten to say goodbye . . . but now that he is a paw model – I’m sure that he doesn’t even know that I exist.
