“Please cooperate, Dougley! Please, please, puh-leeeez!” Well, he finally gave me his “I don’t want to cooperate so I’ll give you a goofy stare pose. OK!?” You get what you get. Later, when I walked by, he swatted me with his paw.

Too much for the morning, I guess because he ran to the guest bedroom shortly after to get away from me. So…

  …we terrorize Andy to give him his medicine, put some Chopin on the CD player, and look forward to finishing Jon Meacham’s book, American Gospel: God, the Founding Fathers, and the  Making of a Nation. (Not a ” Jesus” book – it details the history and role of religion in the full run of history in the English colonies through the USA today. The most disturbing period and people were the Puritans.  Miss church three times, and they put you to death! So much for coming to the New World to escape religious persecution!)
