Same deal as always, former Voxians. The usual password, all one word, lowercase. If you don’t know it, and think you might need to, shoot me a message via the Contact tab. Oh, and hey, this password protected post is actually kinda good news.
Snuggle vs. Chomp
Flanny is indeed a suede hot water bottle. If you’re sick in bed, she is the perfect size and temperature to make you feel better.
Sippy is the scourge of all paper items. Not only do I have many books that have been thoroughly chomped, she has absconded with and nommed money. Not so long after we got the girls, Exhubbicula and I ordered a pizza. As we always did, we laid the money, in this case, a $20 bill, on the entryway table, so it would be handy when the pizza dude arrived.
When the doorbell rang, I went out to the entry and found … no money. It was the only cash I had in my purse, so while the pizza guy waited, I was going around the house, trying to figure out where the money had gone. From under the bed I heard this sly *crinkle-snarp* sound. I got down and looked under. There was Sippy, all of about 4 lbs. at that point, trying to be quiet and stay hidden, but the lure of the crispity new $20 was too much to resist. She was under there chomping little holes all around the perimeter of the bill. I managed to get the money away from her, but it was in pretty bad shape. Reader, I paid the pizza dude with it.
So I have four lovely voxies to thank for their kind and timely contributions to the Kibble Fund. Snoring Katz, Leeeeeeeenda, Mariser, and Auntie Bellum. Thank you all so much for helping to supply kibble for the next two months. Which is really saying something considering how much kibble those beast dogs eat. (I swear, the sound of Josey on cleanup duty after breakfast sounds like a dryer full of blue jeans. Swiff-snap-snap! Swiff-snap-swiff! Thankfully, she does cleanup duty, so I don’t have to worry about stray kibble getting stepped on or luring mousikins into the house.)
My dilemma is this: what cartoons would you all like? Because as always, I would love to send you the signed original of a cartoon to say thank you. I’m doing these nicknames cartoons, but perhaps you would like something different? Perhaps you have a request? (OMG. I’m opening the request line. No good can come of this. Although already I’m wondering if I can draw Sippy pole dancing…) Is there a cartoon from the archive you would like?
I guess let me know, via comment or private message.
And again, thank you sooooo moishe. Going into tax season and dog vaccination season without worrying about kibble is a massive relief.
We do not approve
Poor Flanny. While there’s something kind of adorable about Sippy as a bat, it’s not really Flanny’s fault she’s had several surgeries in her life. Oh well, she gets her revenge in other ways.
Oh, no, I see. Real mail. Well, cool, I would take that, too.
According to Lauo, this lady is promoting the sending of real snail mail for the month of February.
“I have a simple challenge for you.
Pretty coolio. Lauo has offered to coordinate the vox peeps effort. So if you want to be involved, send your address to her at lauowolf@gmail.com. I’m doings it right now!
I have a pretty large collection of Japanese stationery, so this should help me get through that.
I’m behind on several things, including cartoons, but don’t worry. I’m gaining ground.
I was watching a video with whimpering little puppies & she was very concerned about it.
Yes, Sippy is eleven today, too! (They are sisters from the same litter.)

Whew! I was starting to worry I wouldn’t get this cartoon done in time. Under the wire!
Be honest, how did I do at getting Winslow?
I got you a CATLER for your birthday!
Happy Birthday, Amy!! And thank you for your kibble contribution. If you want to drop me a note with your mailing address, I will send you the signed original of the cartoon. Sure to be moderately useful as note-taking paper at some point!
But wait, there’s more! Call now and your Catler will come with a free levitating ironing board! Seriously, just realized I forgot to draw any legs for the ironing board.
