Tiny Dog contributed some of her shed fur to the nest-making projects of all the birds in the yard. She does not usually care for being brushed, but she tolerated the Zoom Groom fairly well today. So far, she is shedding just on the tops of her legs.

Kitty Diva, who is 12 years old, has started mewing like a little kitten when she wants to be fed. I do not understand why. In the past, some regular, loud cat meows were adequate, and I understood perfectly well what I was supposed to do: put food in her bowl. However, now she is making these tiny, high "mew mew mew" sounds. It's kind of cute, but I'm a bit worried that I'm missing the point of whatever nuanced kitty message she is trying to send me.
