You know, one of the things us bloggers do is put people on the blogroll. The reasons people get on the blogroll are many, and honestly, mine is in need of pruning right now, but I’ll tell you ONE that’s staying there: Look! A Baby Wolf!. She got there because she linking to me, a demonstration of a high level of discernment and good taste.
She stays there because, to be honest, she’s a bit of an entertaining whackadoodle who can write. I love a turn of a phrase, and she does ’em.
Like this:
Did I tell you all that my outdoor cat, Piano, has relocated her kittens from wherever she’d stashed them before to under the little tincan in the swamp, as I call this trailer? Well, she did. Cutest kittens ever… EVER, I tell you! I’ve named them Dodo, Rae, Mimi, and Chopsticks. Little bundles of hissing fur… like Tribbles with a steam vent. I hold tight to the illusion that one day they’ll love me as much as I love them. Holding.
“Tribbles with a steam vent”! What a fine collection of words to describe semi-feral kittens. Positively Shakespearean, she is.
Does this imply that there may be still MORE cats in your future? Or is her location sufficiently distant from yours, and the kittens sufficiently feral, to make that a non-issue? Of course, there’s NOTHING quite like taking feral cats on a cross-country tour and having them escape from their confinement…
Mark-
No more CATS! I wouldn’t have SEVEN if the last one didn’t just walk in the door one day like he owned the place. (he does!)
I love very one, but I can’t do any more.

Heh. The best source for new blogs to read is other people’s blogrolls. :-) I added you to my own blogroll yesterday, and am just starting to explore yours. Thanks for a good place to start! :-)

Sure
Thanks for visiting my place, and thanks for the help.
Turns out WordPress has all kinds of help pages for bloggers. Who knew?
I was wondering how you found my place anyhow, but I see that WordPress notifies you when your blog is linked. Even though I was trying to learn, I wanted to put up a good link in case somebody did read it. :) If it’s a problem, I can turn it off. Something else I’ve learned.
Don’t need to turn the link off. Every one is appreciated.

I had the pleasure of meeting Leeann a couple of years ago. If you think she’s an entertaining whackadoodle in print, you can triple that in person.
As for po’ed kitties, I trapped a feral kitten in the backyard who did nothing but hiss at me. Hiss, hiss, hiss. Gave it to a friend who named him Alger.
