Too funny (sorry, I know you must be sore ;o). Hope the tender areas are
better now!

Last Saturday, a couple of days before China's sonogram, Louie and I
took in the Allentown Arts Festival, a tradition very close to a civic
holiday in the Buffalo area. It was a glorious afternoon of art and
culture, and walking. Lots of walking. Five hours later, my ham hocks
were feeling overcooked after being tenderized on the city streets. We
left the festival, picked up some groceries, and came home to rest.

I put my sore glutes into bed, put on a Nanny DVD and waited on Louie
to fix the popcorn. I was engrossed in chasing a lollipop stuck on
Miss Babcock's own glutes, and the cats were coming to check in on me
and make sure Mama was okay. From the corner of my eye I saw China hop
up on the bed, and she went immediately behind me.

"What a good girl my China Doll is!" I said. "Louie! She knows I'm in
pain here! What a sweet little baby, wrapping herself around my tuchas
so that...YEOWCH!!!" I jerked away from the burn working its way into
said tuchas. I missed Louie bringing in the bag of popcorn. He set it
on the bed and China gave it a swat into my derriere, curling up on
the other side of the fresh, hot, steaming sack. The steam was cooking
the ham hocks further than they'd been, and I got a cool cloth to
bring my butt to a more normal temperature.

Louie joined the cats in laughing at Mama, who was too distracted to
notice the smell of popcorn.

Blessed be,
Baha
