This is a great little giraffe softie from While She Naps. Some owls too. The urge to sew stuffed animals is almost too strong to bear. But we have painting and moving of office equipment to do. Another disk of CSI came from Netflix today.

Hi Mouse! Very lanky.
She does look lanky, but not because she doesn't eat. Our boss says our cats are spoiled. But then, what you don't see in this picture (cropped) are 10 Great Dane puppies that grew up thinking Mouse was a toy/babysitter.
I like your mental image of your Puss in Boots toy! Very cute.
Um, like what house cats aren't spoiled???? :) Oh wait - my cat isn't spoiled. Nosirree.
(Ok, I couldn't keep a straight face while I typed that.)
