man's best friend
well, Thurston's best friend anyway...
i just received the following email from T:
"here is something to blog about......can we get one for Pickles?"
Pickles a/k/a Mr. Pickles né Winston is our giant cat. he is also T's favorite.

they spend a fair amount of time together, especially when i am watching Rock Star: INXS or some such reality show and ignoring both of them. it should be known that i'm allergic to Winston. and, as a result, have considered finding him a new home (maybe even with his other BFF, the Bean). but T says that "if Pickles goes, i go." so despite my sneezing, i keep the furry guy around.
now if you were wondering what T wanted to get for "Pickles" (which is T's invented name for the cat) it was either one of the two items pictured below:

Thurston is a scary, scary man!
