Meet Huckleberry
Mark was talking about
posting a profile of Lucy, so I figured I'd better beat him to the
punch and tell you a bit more about Huckleberry. (Can you tell
that Lucy is more Mark's dog and Huckleberry is more my cat?)
Age: about 2.5-3 years
History: picked up by me at the
dump when I went to offload some garbage about a year ago. (Mark
never sent me to the dump alone again...)
Favorite activities: sleeping
on the futon, eating, scratching things to pieces, meowing incessantly,
lying on my chest while I read and pet him, running up and down on the
roof early in the morning, tricking Lucy into chasing him across the
garden so that she'll get yelled at
Cuteness quotient: 10
Usefulness quotient: 2 (He did
catch two mice in his early days.)
At least now he can't complain that 80% of our "pets"-tagged posts are
about Lucy!
