Coyotes Gate

Coyote using the Coyoteverse to shapeshift into a CoYoda.

This time of year, during the alignment of Sirius and the sun, coyote portals open up for them to move round and shapeshift through the Coyoteverse.

Spunk: “Hey Paparazzo! Don’t forget about Spunks Gate and the Spunkyverse. Since today was a no sun Sunday in the Spunkyverse, it was Sirius.” Il Paparazzo: “It was rough, especially when you were having a screaming match with your doppelgänger!”

Mystery Kitty

Geese @ dawn

This kitty has been hanging around, fighting with our cats through the wire in the catio, for quite a while. The first time I saw this kitty several months ago, I was awakened by him fighting with Silver at 2:00 a.m. I stumbled out into the catio to see what was going on. I looked up to see this kitty looking down at me through the wire at the top of the catio. Seeing it in the darkness when I was half awake, it really looked like Spunk. I said, “Spunk! How did you get outside?” The kitty simply stared at me. I went back inside to put on shoes so I could go outside and collect Spunk, but there Spunk was on the bed.

7º @ 7:00

I remember being outside one morning at the end of January when the temperature was 7º F (-13.8 C) at 7:00 a.m. I was wishing for summer heat. Now that the summer heat is here, I started thinking about that cold morning in January, and the song I wrote about it.
