Friday Night:
I might as well write another post tonight, seeing as how we are trapped in our house for the foreseeable future. There is a wild Panamanian beast outside, and Eric has already fallen victim to her rage. Enough blood has been shed for one night. We have met Satan, and her name is Cat.
Sorry the pic is blurry. I was rushing to shut the door so she didn’t attack me too. Can’t you see the hate in her beady little eyes?
Yep, it’s not all sunshine and paradise down here. We have real problems. Like an outdoor cat. This girl’s got claws, and tonight, she dug them into Eric’s leg. One of the two that he needs for kiteboarding. She broke the skin, y’all. Eric had to use (gulp!) rubbing alcohol to clean it! And you know that stuff stings!
Had I known she was going to do that, I would’ve taken advantage of this situation earlier today:
Anyway, I had to brave the wrath of this little jerk in order to get our laundry done. The problem is that her food is kept in the laundry room, and I kept shooing her out so she wouldn’t get locked in when I left. She wasn’t happy with that arrangement. But after Eric’s little encounter with her, I thought she might be locked in, so I armored my legs with a towel and talked the poor dog into coming with me. Long story short: the cat wasn’t there. Pretty anticlimactic.
By the way, the dog’s name is Anigh. I have no idea how to spell it because a long “I” sound isn’t one you regularly hear in Spanish, but if i use a “Y,” it just ends up looking like Any. It’s pronounced Ah-nigh (as in “the time is nigh”).
The cat is Ron, pronounced with a rolled “r” and, well, a spanish “o” sound. Ron is also spanish for rum. Oddly, she is not much fun when you mix her with orange juice.
Saturday morning update:
We managed to leave the house this morning, but Ron has turned passive aggressive. She took Eric’s chair when he refused to pet her.
***Also, I’ve been made aware that my photos turn sideways when viewed on an iPhone. It’s normal on an Android or on a Mac or PC. No idea why it’s happening or how to change it, so you might just have to turn your heads for now. Sorry!
