Note that the white cat is unimpressed, and it was a full moon that night apparently.

That’s amazing.

Perhaps the reason that they were so concerned about badgers is that (it appears that) Europe has a relative paucity of bovines. I had been assured by one of my dearest friends that if a badger came to visit us in our new home, we'd have WW III with our team of dogs. Since 2008, our team has been whittled down to one 17 lb. dog with very respectable jaws and teeth. (I miss those babies and our darling Supercat so much.) I don't know where I'm going with this.

Anyway, we took Crowbar for his annual checkup and immunizations. I feel like I've been in a 60 minute wrestling match. He was so terribly nervous and hyperactive that they even escorted me into the back area at the vet so that I could decrease his stress (fat chance). Don't know how many calories it burned, but I've counted it as a workout for today. Interestingly, we stopped at the supermarket for eggs, and the owner of a gigantic pickup truck parked next to us said something to his young passengers about not messing with a woman's dog and he wouldn't have blamed me if I (...muffled words as he closed the door of the truck.) What on earth did he think I'd do to some innocent kids who were curious about Crowbar? So astonishing. I don't need to get out more. There's a lot of peculiarity out there....
