I told you what April Showers Would Bring, Didn't I?

Hippo Flowers!

Well, technically, the flowers were Katie's, given to her by Baxter for their monthiversary, but since all things in the house are really mine, it works out. Unfortunately, she wouldn't let me eat either the flowers OR Horace, so I had to make due with a sniff here and there and a little bite when she wasn't looking. Baxter will let me do anything I want, so I wait until he comes in and then steal a small nibble.
Baxter and I have been practicing for my upcoming senior photos, and I thought this was a charitable first attempt. Note how purr-tastic I am at crossing my paws at the wrist.


Since Katie and Baxter (mostly Katie) have started packing up the house into the little boxes that will take us to place where I have to pay pet rent, I have had a variety of super meow-tacular places to law about in the house. As usual, the bench is my favorite. Es-purr-cially because my paws fit so nicely through the slats.
In other news, I think I have finally found a paying gig to make my pet deposit this week. Previously, I didn't feel comfortable offering my sage advice, but a few more pages of reading and desperate times mean I've finally gotten a job. My job title, you ask? Purr-ific Meow-ademic Consultant.
My specialty, of course, is Derrida, since that's what I've spent the most time reading/napping upon (obviously learning by os-meow-sis), but I"ll be doing consulting works on all the major works in Baxter's dissertation. It's only a summer job, but it'll pay the bills for now. Thanks for all the emails of support for my predi-cat-ment.
