Pictures of Dan and Harri at http://tinyurl.com/6gagt
We had a very brief visit as Dan was headed to Nevada and I was midpoint on getting grandson's off to work. Harri is just as beautiful as I expected. (It's OK Fez I've met her so you are still my favorite cat I've never met) She is definitely "Daddy's little girl" and wants nothing to do with strangers, which is as it should be. I don't think she much cares for Dan talking to strangers either. She has the most gorgeous eyes. Dan and Harri, may you have good weather and open roads. Jo "Dan M" wrote in message ... Not sure but if I have to take grandson to Marysville to work, I may just do that. Jo We arrived almost an hour early, got our loaded trailer, and parked on the street. I had some paperwork to finish off, so did that. Harri spent the time "ack-ack"ing at some birds across the street. Finally about 4:45 I hooked Harri up and took her into the large green field we were parked beside. I guess she doesn't like grass that comes up to her tummy any more than water that comes up to her tummy - she spent about 5 minutes walking around then made a bee-line back to the truck. I decided to check e-mail and Usenet one more time, and I was getting the wireless internet connection set up, Jo pulled up! Perfect timing. Unfortunately Harri is terrified of anyone except Nancy and me, so I had to pick her up off the back of the seat and hold her for Jo to get a picture. Jo was kind enough to bring Harri a great big shrimpie! It's now on the dashboard while it finishes thawing, and Harri is meatloafing right in front of it. As soon as I take it out of the plastic bag I suspect she's going to make short work of it. We're now off to Sacramento to scale this load, then headed for Sparks (Reno) where we'll spend the night. |

Her resolve faltered as the water got a little deeper. When the water reached her tummy her resolve disappeared entirely. She attempted to pirouette without touching the water (and almost succeeded, I swear!), raced back to dry land, and kept going until she reached the fence around the yard. She does NOT like getting her tummy fur wet! LOL! Sounds like Nikki could give Harri a few swimming lessons. ;o) -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |

Jo Jo, Harri wanted me to tell you that hte shrimpie you brought her was a huge success! Harri has never seen a shrimp before (I guess this was really a prawn, as it was BIG). She's a real sweetheart, but she doesn't score really high on the courage meter. As you saw, when she panicked when realized another human being was approaching within 10 feet of her. The shrimp was fully thawed by the time we finished scaling the load in Sacramento, so it put down on the passenger seat on a paper towel. Harri look intrigued and definitely liked the smell. However, having never seen such a thing before she wasn't quite sure what to do with it. She started by pawing at it without ever actually touching it. I guess she was waiting to see if it would move when her paws got close. She pawed at it for about 5 minutes, without ever actually touching it. After 5 minutes of pawing didn't produce any movement she circled around behind the shrimp and warily touched it's tail. When it still didn't attack her she speared it with a couple of claws and held it up. Tehe continue lack of attack emboldened Harri to actually bat it around with her paws - she did this for another 5 minutes or so. Then she picked it up in her mouth and shook it vigorously, dropped it, circled it, and repeated a few times. Then she finally decided she could safely give it a nip. She nibbled off a little piece, and I could just about see the light bulb come on - "Hey, this stuff is GOOD!". She then set to eating it seriously. She got about 1/10 of it eaten then decided it needed to be shaken a few more times to be sure it was really dead, then batted around the passenger seat a few more time, then nibbled on again. All told, that shrimp proveded at least half an hour of entertainment as well as giving Harri kitten a yummy snack. Thanks so much! Dan |
