Good Gravy!

Posted on 03:45 by Unknown
Last night, San Geraldo made a delicious dinner (unless you're a vegetarian) of pork roast and gravy (and of course two side dishes). He followed the delicious dinner with two desserts — one for himself and the second for us both. His first dessert? Cold gravy from the pot ladled over a hamburger bun. He was in heaven. The second dessert? Shortbread cookies coated in dark chocolate. We were both in heaven.

SAN GERALDO'S JUST DESSERTS... BLECCH!

Our boys Dudo and Moose continue to settle in to life with us. We have become a solid family, all tolerant of each other's needs and habits. Moose has lately been horning in on spots previously claimed by Dudo. They each have their own beds (among all the other beds they claim in the house). However, Moose waits for Dudo to leave his and then takes his place. Sometimes, he doesn't wait for Dudo to leave. The other day, as I sat at my computer, the boys cuddled sleepily nearby. I turned to see Moose stretch in his sleep, unknowingly putting Dudo into a strangle-hold. Dudo looked up at me pathetically, but didn't move. He clearly didn't want to disturb Moose's sleep. He wretched momentarily and then settled back down. I've done the same at times for San Geraldo I'm sure.
