Do you ever get the urge to put your hand in your water while you are drinking? Stretch does, and we are not quite sure why, other than he’s a Manx and Manx’s tend to be weird. I don’t know if the sparrow below is the same one that was posing for me the other morning, but this one was posing for me while I grilled pork for enchiladas I made this afternoon. I tried multiple times to get the little bird in the last photo in the clear, but it insisted on staying in the branches. I believe it is a finch, but haven’t looked it up yet.
I added a new menu on the right-hand side of the page named “Photo Galleries” that will take you to my http://www.TandLphotos.com site. I added galleries for Photo of the Day, Etc. The slide show now has the photos for the photos I post during the current month. Under the Photo of the Day, Etc. Group there are galleries for 2010, 2011 and 2012. These galleries allow you to see all the photos I’ve posted on Photo of the Day, Etc. since I started it in December 2010.

-A few posts ago you showed Stretch sleeping in Lauries room I think. He also used his paw to cover the eyes so no light would pass there into his eyes. He is just a paw oriented cat, human in a previous life maybe ?
Stretch is a very smart kitty. He was helping me make enchiladas this afternoon — well, really more like testing the pork loin to make sure it was cooked right;-) He’s a lot of fun, it’s too bad he has renal failure at such a young age.
