If at first you don't succeed...: Shy kitties
http://gottagopractice.blogspot.com/2010/04/shy-kitties.html
If at first you don't succeed. Start another blog, or two, or move to twitter. Facebook? Monday, April 26, 2010. I'm still here, mostly hangin' out on twitter and my practice blog. These days. Not having much to say, I'm not saying much. 140 chars at a time fills the bill nicely. Hiya from an old semi-loyal reader. Nice to see this home pad is still alive, and with fresh kitty videos too! 4/28/10, 2:18 AM. I want to adopt buffy and willow based on their names alone. 5/20/10, 12:42 PM. 5/20/10, 10:01 PM.
