The most adorable guardians of Hades. Cerberuses (or is it Cerberii?)
Cerberupodes
Baby meerkats:
Weasels gonna weasel, yo.
I cried thru damn near that entire episode with The Return of Sarah Jane and K-9, I was so happy to see them. The Great Fourth was my First Doctor, and your First Doctor and his Companions do make quite an impression.
I was still in grade school when Mom found the show on TVO(ntario), a Canadian public tv station that barely came in. “Christine! Come see this! It’s a really weird science fiction show!”
It was worth dealing with the static and snow to catch Doctor Who! We were both utterly smitten
Here’s Anubis, Mikayla’s jackal!
Djinn the Fennec Fox!
Here’s Migina, (mih-GEE-nah ETA: Omaha Native American for Moon Returning), AKA Squeak, Migina-Squeak, Squeaker, Squeakerbeast, etc etc
This charming beastie eventually clawed up my six foot inflatable dinosaur. She’d never trusted it, and finally put a ton of tiny holes in its feet, and it V slowly deflated over the course of a few days as my then-BF and I helplessly watched. We didn’t even see the holes until it was all but completely collapsed.
I was much more angry when she decided she disliked the first species orchid I got to bloom and killed that.
I still miss her.
That cat needs to be filed under 779.329
Why? cat
is a unix and powershell command, so it seems like someone moved it down a shelf or two.
Seems more like 636.8
I looked for a book about the Lipizzans and their training on the shelves of the Detroit Public Library, couldn’t find it, and filled out a request slip. The librarian to whom I presented it told me I should be looking upstairs, and I had to correct him.
“636 [Sci & Tech upstairs] is horses as animals and their care; 798 is horse sports,” I explained.
He thought a minute, realized I was right, and submitted the slip for a search of the stacks. My book came out within 10 minutes.
That librarian evidently never wandered around his department looking at the books there.
Oh. My. Dog.
Getting near Valentine’s Day.
On a different note, if we finally get a vomit emoji, could we also get a Cerebus emoji… just to balance things out in some obscure, nebulous, inexplicable sort of way?
