Kisses from Zelly.
Zelda wouldn't eat a piece of apple if you paid her. But she sure likes licking the juice off my hands after I eat one!

Thinking About Flying
There is a nest tucked in the vines just outside my office window. It is a sturdy nest, which was built by a pair of mating robins last spring and managed to survive the winter and several intense spring storms.
At the end of the longest winter, Iain was determined to pull the vines down this year so we could repaint the porch. I adore the vines, and don't want to lose them, even though I know the porch needs painting. But, a few weeks ago, a pair of mating robins settled in again, after making a few repairs, and shortly thereafter, Mama Robin had settled in, nesting her blue eggs.
Iain knew it would have to wait another year. He grumbled, but there was no way we were going to dislodge them.
We both love watching the hatchlings grow up. It happens so quickly. The teensy naked pink babies of three weeks ago are now goofy little fully-feathered robins, whose mother has been trying to get them to take their first flight for days.
This afternoon, they took their first steps outside the nest.
They sit and chirp and stretch their wings, as Mama chirps encouragement from a tree across the yard. Occasionally, one of them will tilt its head skyward, open-beaked, as if to say, "I'm hungry! Come give me a worm!" And Mama chirps back angrily, as if to scold them, "Time to get it yourself, lazy!"
Juvenile robins are hilarious, often refusing to feed themselves long after they're actually capable, following their parents around and begging to be fed. They are comical and sweet birds, with big personalities whose moods are evident in their wide range of sounds. I love them so.
One evening, as we were headed in the front door, after standing on the porch observing the babies, just as they were getting their first feathers, Iain said, "I think we should turn off the porch light, so Mama Robin can get some sleep."
We may have to find a way to paint around the vines. Next year.

As I've mentioned, Matilda loves ribbons and she loves lamé, so when my birthday gift from Alison arrived wrapped in a silver lamé ribbon, Matilda basically got THE GREATEST PRESENT EVER!
She has been going completely wild with this thing, demanding that I play with it with her 24 hours a day. If I stop playing with her for two seconds, she immediately begins nudging me and howling like I'm trying to murder her.
And, suffice it to say, she enjoys playing with this string. A LOT.
Rrrrowwwrrrr MY STRING! My precious!
I WILL DESTROY ALL OF THE STRING!

I love how the expressions get increasingly sullen the further away from the camera they are. Dudley's all, "Wevs." And Matilda's all, "I hate you." LOL.

Yesterday, I had to take the dogs to the vet for their booster shots. Dudley, who spent the first part of his life being handled constantly at a dog track, is a dream patient. Zelda, who spent the first part of her life who knows how, is something less than a dream patient. This was the only moment she wasn't cowering behind my legs.
The only time Dudley was unhappy was when Zelly got taken into the back to get blood drawn for her heartworm test; he just stood and stared at the door until she came back.
