Today I take the boys in for their summer haircuts at the pet groomer’s.

Dougy probably will come home scalped because he didn’t cooperate with me when I brushed him, and I didn’t have good control of the many mats now in his hair. Shame on us both! Andy will do better since his hair tends not to mat so much.

Speaking of agendas, some time back, I posted a few photos of a political mailer Andy took a fancy to. He played on it, he guarded it with his body, he chewed on it, he chased Dougy away when Dougy tried to have fun with it, too.

After Andy chewed it up pretty thoroughly, I tossed it out. Notice my caption at the time, below the photo:

“#&%^# cat!” Andy (most likely) slipped the mailer out of the trash once again, and has been playing with it. It is a bit more worn out now. Maybe I can finally toss it one day, shredded to pieces.

Then, today, I noticed something curiously familiar on the floor in the bathroom:

Someone, most likely Andy, wasn’t quite ready to give up on the Smith mailer!

Bad kitty! I will find a spot in the trash under the sink where this will disappear until I bag the trash for pick up tomorrow morning!

Congressman Adrian Smith of Nebraska’s 3rd District

Congressman Smith won the primary Tuesday, with 68% of the Republicans voting for him to run as the Republican candidate for another term. My cat Andy seems to like him as well, though his agenda is not political.
