you're actually having summer this year? Summer's been canceled up here and they gave us Seattle's weather instead.
We'll I should watch my mouth, it's actually sunny today, I don't want to jinx it,
Was hot and dry all day; outside felt like a blast furnace.
The Beej has been staying outside since the weather got hot and doesn't want to come in, preferring to be fed outside. I try to keep him fresh water at all times, but the bugs and ants get into it and then he won't touch it. (yet I've seen him drink out of a mud puddle, go figger)
I made him come in today and eat all he would, got him some cool fresh water and he ate fairly good and drank some water, then I got him some cold milk and he took a few laps of it and I swear, he looked up at me with a smile and appreciation in his eyes.
Made me wanna go buy him some ice cream, bless him.
He's getting old and a little raggedy looking. I try my best to take care of him, but being an outside cat (mostly) takes years off of a cat's life. He WANTS to be outside, though, and I can tell he loves it, because he always acts like he can't wait to get back out, like he's going to miss something.
