cuteness as an evolutionary necessity for survival

whbeebe

If Danï wasn’t so cute she’d be in dire shape by now. She’s a sweet little thing but she has a very bad habit of rising up on her hind legs, waving those huge poly fore paws at the other members of the family, especially Annie our Doodle. And then Danï squeaks (yes, squeaks) at Annie, who gets upset and barks back. Annie is a an order of magnitude larger, size-wise, than Danï. And yet Annie gets scared. So now I have to pay closer than normal attention to the two of them, especially Annie. I guess we’ll get through this just like we get through everything else.

and now for something a little different

As much as I try, I can’t go through life ranting about the perceived sins of  Linux distributions. Not with a house full of characters like I have. Here’s a few photos to prove that point.

Sweet little Annie practices her sorrowful hound dog eye look because she is descended from hounds and she hopes that if she looks sorrowful enough I might take pity and give her a few treats. Practice makes perfect and all that.

Meanwhile Beau does what Beau does best, which is nap.

He does look swanky in the beau-tie of his. Finally we have little Zoë who’s giving me the sly look, as if she’s about to spring up and grab me.

All of these creatures without exception show intelligence and socialization with humans and amoungst themselves. They are the first to offer affection and love, and all they “ask” for in return is the same.

In my case it means everybody walking up into my lap looking for rubs while I’m trying to type. I can barely fend off the affections of one, but not all eight of them. Yes, eight is indeed enough.
