Little Miss Wash My Paws

This is one time that you'll see Miss Molly acting ladylike.  It is far more likely to see her tearing around the house like a madwomen (or kitten) or shamelessly flopping on top of the warmest nearby human.  I have a video of this, but I'm still having a hard time finding the videos on my camera and downloading them.  I'm getting old, inept or both.

Day 4 of socailizing our cats we've had them out and about with each other, and while the growling and hissing continues, its lessened and they are generally tolerating each other.  Molly so desparately wants to be friends though. Unfortunately, this results in her occasionally running right up to Zoe and getting hissed at.  I have to give her credit for being persistant.  It is hard to imagine how Molly hasn't melted Zoe's heart, but I am a mere sappy human not a cat.  Scott says give them another day or two.  Zoe has been affectionate, but is resisting Molly's charms for now.  Even I can see that she's weakening though, especailly when Molly is doing something unusually silly, like chasing her tail or wresting with the chair legs.

There have been a few big things happening in the news.  In Baker, a terrible fire has destroyed the main BLCS compound.  Its a huge disaster any where, but it will not likely have a good effect on life for folks in Baker.  Not only are they are huge source of jobs, it is a huge source of local services like managing buildings, construction, vehicle rentals and deliveries.  The good news is no one was hurt, but its going to be a tough thing to rebuild in the north.

The other is a mudslide just west of Banff which has closed the highway in both directions, although it sounds like east bound traffic is moving again.
