And this is the house where I could be unknown

I assume it goes without saying that I will not be at Arisia this week on account of everything, but tonight at dinner when we were eating our steak pot pie Autolycus who had been very quiet all evening suddenly seized in his jaws a chunk of potato half the size of his head and bore it triumphantly away like a saber-toothed cat with a mastodon from the tar pit and we did not let him eat the potato, but it was a beautiful thing to see. (We did let him eat some of the steak.) I seem after decades to be hitting my physical limit of consecutive all-nighters. I would honestly like some of this month back already.

*hugs* I am very sorry about the rest, but glad to hear Autolycus was feeling up to a bit of food-snatching. <3

It’s on account of he is never fed and must fend opportunistically for himself. What is steak? What is thinly-sliced roast beef? He does not know. Samples should be provided.

Haha. I hope the small but fearless hunter enjoyed his triumph over the potato.

That image makes me smile! I'm glad he was feeling up to causing mischief.

My childhood basset hound did this once with an entire head of cabbage! It was immortally hilarious. Good on Autolycus.

Hail the mighty hunter of the... er... XD Excellent kitty.

The retriever in the icon was an expert and speedy food snitcher, especially if the food in question landed on the floor. Dropped oyster crackers come to mind.

I love how fierce warrior Autolycus marched off w. his prize after defeating the pot pie. For him to have the inclination (all things considered) is remarkable. I hope he carries this spirit w. him, his head held higher, walking like a king.

Yay for Autolycus the potato-snatcher! And BOO for sleeplessness! I hope you're able to get some rest.
