Herbie's life

This is our new cat, Herbie, and my daughter Emily. Herbie and Emily have a lot in common - they both love rock and roll. Herbie's a rocker from way back. Emily's just getting started. She can learn a lot from Herbie. He's been rockin' for 15 years now, which oddly enough is two years longer than Emily's been alive. In cat years, he's lived thru two world wars, the Great Depression, and is still rockin' so hard he puts Keith Richards to shame. And looks better too. This picture was taken after a late-nite jam session. You can see that they are both worn out, although, truth be told, at 96 cat years, this is all Herbie ever does anyway. Wait, that's a lie. Sometimes he sleeps on the other side of the couch. Emily, however, is always on the same side.

Here we see Emily with 63 pretzels in her mouth. Why? Because Herbie dared her. In fact, he double-dog dared her. Once she completed the dare, Herbie yawned, unimpressed, and went back to sleep. I'm a little worried about these two.







See? Now she can't even close her mouth due to the preztel stretchage. That darn cat.
