Four Shades of Gray

Gray drapes. Gray carpet. Gray walls. Gray Me. Kinda fitting, considering the weather these past few days.

And how 'bout that wind yesterday! Holy mouse turds, I thought the place was gonna blow away.  

Anyway, that's it. Not much to say today. 

Toilet Paper and Birthdays

We've bought Smudge toys in the past, but their usefulness was always short-lived if she ever even paid them any attention at all.  And don't get me wrong- we'd actively try to get her to play instead of putting them on the floor and expecting her to do all the work. So one recent morning, I went to put an empty toilet paper roll in the recycling tote. On the way past a lounging Smudge, I decided to drop the roll in front of her and, well, she had a field day with the darn thing. The pictures don't do justice or show how aggressively she played, rolling this way and that, biting and bunny-kicking it, and generally frolicking to no end as if it was the greatest thing in the world. Simple things, I guess. 

This coming Tuesday marks Smudge's Sweet 16th birthday. We don't know for sure how old she is, so we're going on what limited records Brother Wolf Animal Rescue provided when we brought her home two and a half years ago.
