this is just sad...

Remember how I described Puddy's basket on my desk (my former "in" basket)? And how she would leap into it, sliding it closer to the edge of the desk each time, then at least once a week, tumble over the desk like Wile E Coyote going over the cliff? Well, she finally destroyed the basket, to the point where the bottom had completely fallen off the rest of the poor thing, and the sides were so frayed, there was no hope of recovery. I don't even know where the bottom went to, but I set the "top" over on my side table next to my desk to remind me to buy her another one. I'm so used to her hopping up on my desk, I didn't even pay attention when she did it again today until I realized she was lying down on the side table and when I turned, I just totally cracked up. This is just so sad:

Yes, I am going to get her another basket today.

What do you mean, I'm not working. I am so too. Okay, I am working on entries and not taxes. grumble grumble grumble.

It's not enough you make me live this way, but you put photos on the internet?

Just wait until you're getting out of the shower....

Yeah, but only I know where the catnip is stored. Heh.

I like how her leg is jutting out. Is she named for Puddy on Seinfeld? Or what?

Nah, I didn't realize the Seinfeld cat was named Puddy. (Whose cat was that?) Carl just thought it was funny, as in "I t'ought I taw a Puddy tat," Tweety Bird fame. Carl would name everything after cartoons if I gave him the chance, I think.

Puddy wasn't a cat, he was the big dumb dark-haired guy Elaine dated for a while. The "body-painter" sports fan; the guy who had the "Jesus Fish" on his car (and Elaine ripped it off.)

(hanging head in shame) I now remember him. Gah. I can't believe I forgot that. (And he went on to be The Tick, I think, in a short-lived show written by a friend of mine, ironically.)
