Suddenly I'm getting a lot of traffic at animalphiles and I'm not exactly sure why. Not complaining, mind you, just wondering where it all started coming from. I did get mentions and/or links on two other blogs - Liz Spikol's The Trouble with Spikol and Jennifer George's Blogarsay. (If anyone reading this is old enough to remember, this sort of reminds me of the old Spy magazine bit, "logrolling in our time."
I've still got a long - long - way to go before I'm getting a fraction of the traffic of my favorite animal-related site, cuteoverload.
I've had a rough couple of days with a cold, but I have an entire week off next week with no exhausing poker trips planned, so I should get plenty of rest for recovering.
Hmmm, maybe not so much rest. I have a long list of chores set for myself including (ack!) cleaning out the garage and finishing the taxes. To quote M. Emmett Walsh in my favorite Coen brothers flick, "the gov'ment do take a bite, don't she."
Speaking of movies, I am loving my new point and shoot digital video recorder from Pure Digital. So tiny, featherweight and easy to use. Downloaded some vids and put them into I-Movie pretty easily.
The first take was a bit out of focus, but I managed a semi-decent screen grab of Zoe, who compulsively licks the air.
One of the projects I've set for myself in the coming week is to get some really good video of both freaky dogs and work on learning how to actually post video to this blog.
I also want to learn my way around I-Movie so I can document my new life with ratties when the babies finally arrive.
Curtiss put the new cage up and its enormous (a RUUD from Martin's Cages). I've ordered all sorts of goodies - hammocks, cubes, yogies, etc. Lucy and Ethel are going to be in rat heaven.
One other big chore for the week ahead is getting the dogs bathed and their beds washed. The most noticeable thing about the video this still picture came from is the sound of the dogs' claws on the linoleum. Click, clatter, clatter, click. Very loud, but funny. I'll post when I figure out how.
