I walked the labyrinth at Bellevue Unity this morning, in a light rain. I think I need to put in a map link to this labyrinth. All the ads on this page are now about cats! I liked it better when they were about maps and things. You'd think with the name Webster, there would be at least one dictionary or book ad. I hope folks are clicking the links now and then. books, books books! dictionaries! Maps! And of course toy blocks and construction sets!

Webster explores the outside world

Webster had his biggest outdoor time yet.

First he explorered inside our open-air garage.

Then he explored up along the side of the house.

Then he climbed a bit up the cedar tree.

Then he went up the apple tree and onto the garage roof.

From the garage roof he went back into the apple tree and up a couple of branches quite a ways.

All the exploring was quite liesurely and cautious - I don't think we will have a problem with him plunging into dangerous adventures.

Beach

I went by the beach on my way home from the grocery store to check out the extra-low tide of -3.77. Tomorrow's -3.89 is the lowest tide of the year, and todays is only 1.4 inches shy of that. It was raining so not many people were there, and I didn't stay long myself, but did admire how much you could see the difference from Monday's -2.33. I thought that a slight storm surge might have reduced the difference, but it turned out not.

Vet

I think Webster has forgiven me for taking him to the vet this morning -- though I don't presume so far as to accept it lightly when I take him again in three to four weeks.

He got poked prodded, listened to, looked at, and peered into.

He got injected one two three times.

He got a microchip implanted.

I am particularly pleased with the microchip, since he desperately wants to go outside, but his history of having been a stray urges caution.

He is now napping on the couch, a cute little bundle of sweetness.

I am sure when he goes outside, he will perceive himself as a fierce stalker of birds. I imagine the birds flying off in gales of laughter - orange & white are not exactly camouflage coloring.

"Why isn't the water on?"
