Do you hear that? That... sound? Or lack thereof? For the first time in two weeks I am completely alone in my own home, aside from my pets. The first week was Spring Break, of course, and then the second week was the recovery from Spring Break, whereupon the Diva and the Boy were both sick, the Diva for the whole week, poor lamb.

Didn't stop me from practically shoving them out the door this morning. "No, seriously, you are HEALTHY. Go!"

At any rate, I'm in the mood for nurturing Cabana Boys. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm an animal lover. We have my beautiful dogs, lovely Mooshu and silly Jasmine, and Jack-Jack, the cat.



So what does this have to do with nurturing Cabana Boys? Well, I figure any boy who loves the critters will make a good, nurturing Cabana Boy. Strangely, I couldn't find pictures of Boys with cats. I popped it into a Google Search and this is what I came up with:



Yeah, uh, definitely not what we want.

ETA: Saved by hilleviw Hot guys with kitties do exist! The very lovely banjo virtuoso, Bela Fleck and Animal.



Now, about those puppies...

Look at that—any boy who cuddles a puppy like that...



Then there's Orlando and his pretty puppies on a beach walk. He brought at least one of the puppies home from Morocco, I think it was, when he was filming Kingdom of Heaven.



( It's not just about the puppies )

Now, about those Brazilians...

I've made no secret of my Rodrigo-love. I mean, what's not to love, right? The eyes, the hair, the smile, the fact that he looks amazing lounging in a bathtub...*le sigh*




*ahem* Sorry. Went off to my Happy Place. But I tell you, you'd think that Rodrigo would be an exception, right? I mean, how many men can there be like that? Apparently, in Brazil, they practically grow on trees.

( Seriously, what's in the water there? )

I think this is going to require more research. What do you guys think? Road trip to Ipanema?

Please, for the love of all that's good and holy, quit trying to eat the damned cat's head.

Note to cat:

Please, for the love of all that's good and holy, quit using me as a launching pad when the puppy is trying to eat your damned head. While we're at it, quit taunting the puppy and she might quit trying to eat your damned head.



*wanders off to find Neosporin for large gashes in chest*

And boy, Alesia's gonna laugh like a loon if she reads this entry.

Anything to avoid confronting all the changes that have to be made to the MS, right?

This is Cubbie



This is Memphis



I'm in love with both their pictures and descriptions.

Why on earth there did there to be major breed rescue groups for two of my favorite breeds within an hour of me?

The Hub is currently terrified.

It's been a while and they were being particularly silly while I baked.

First off, Jack-Jack has grown enormous. You can't really see it in this picture, but his gut, it needs its own zip code, I swear.

I own this house



Jasmine and Jack in their favorite past time



Hey! Where'd she go? I wasn't done yet!



Bored now



But I'm damned cute.



Nope. Wasn't us.



Jack?



There are days it's a wonder I get anything done.
