Remembering that time my dogs were possessed by the spirit of early 'Tears For Fears'.
A hairy lurcher and terrier look moodily to their right. They are seated in the back seat of a car and look like they have had a tiff.

Have to admit, I’m feeling a little deflated at the chance of getting the dogs to coexist with Agatha safely.

Brought Agatha out in her carrier again, but Shane was a bit too interested.

Agatha’s eyes are improving, but she’s still reminiscent of Chief Inspector Dreyfuss at times. #caturday
Agatha plans the angle of attack to cause maximum contact when she lands squarely on my balls. Agatha judges, her sore eye is screwed up and amplifies the pity she feels for me.
