Britches was not very pleased when I had him don this silly cat hat. I haven't tried putting it on Miss Fanny yet, mostly because I'm afraid she will kill me, but I imagine I'll attempt it while she is taking a nap.
I guess the big news this week is Roxy's encounter with a skunk. Mark was running her, Mingo, and our good friend Marko's dogs (he has 3) with a 4-wheeler on Marko's land. Roxy's powerful sniffer picked up the scent of something too tempting, and off she ran. "Coming" is still not her strong suit (at all), so she totally ignored Mark's commands, and came bounding back to him when her curiousity was satisfied...and when she reeked like Pepe le Pew. To make matters worse, as Mark was driving the dogs home, the odor drifted onto Mingo and we ended up with 2 stinky dogs. I believe Mark used 8 large cans of tomato juice to bathe the hounds (this all occured Friday morning, so I was already at school). Although there is a little smell left on Mingo's muzzle, I can't really notice any lingering stink. (Roxy is pictured)
We also had a very brief visit from Mom, Dad and Bill Monday night as they flew back into Madison from their stay in Arkansas (this is where my oldest brother, Don, and his wife, Hope, live with their 3 children). My brother, John, picked them up at the airport and drove them to our house where they had left their car. We ordered some yummy Falbo Brothers pizza and pigged out. They did not spend the night as they wanted to get home and to make sure everything was okay with my mom's 2 cats (the cats were fine). We will actually be seeing them again this coming Friday as they drive Bill down for a weekend stay before he heads off to Chicago to fly to his teaching job in France. Below is a picture of Bill (he's the youngest of the "kids").
I also have been taking some photos for the restaurant's new website. I actually have found that I rather enjoy taking of food. Maybe because I get to eat some of it after I'm done taking the pictures.

Yummy food photos! Mmm mmm.
I'll be updating our blog sometime in the next couple of days with pictures from Sylvania. We had a porcupine wander through our site and climb to the top of a nearby tree, but Coco missed seeing it (she followed Bob, Lisa, John, Bill and Emma down to the water for a chilly September SWIM). The porcupine stayed in the tree until after dark; we heard it amble away after we were all bundled in for the night (trying to stay warm under layers of bedding).
No skunks, though!
