Cat Number Two

If you are keeping track of the vacation agenda you can check three items off the list: Celebrated with Asian Viking Girl over some excellent Korean BBQ, went to the gym, and got a haircut. Tomorrow, Eastern Market for some fresh local peaches.

Today's cat is Cosmo, a.k.a Mr. Giggles. He acquired his nickname after we watched his "pouches" swing wildly from side to side while running down the hallway. Cosmo was born in the mountains of West Virginia and I adopted him from a rescue group at the same time I adopted Halle. He likes to take naps in the sunshine, eat, and ponder which is the better: chicken? or pork? He prefers his chicken in oven-roasted form and his pork in prosciutto di Parma form. Cosmo is lucky he was adopted into such a cat-loving household. He has a heart murmer caused by juvenial onset cardiomyopathy. I don't have a cardiologist, but he does. He is a champ at taking his beta-blockers every night, and we are blessed to share a home with him. Here is a pic of the dashing young man.
