I'm certain that every cat owner who read that you were giving nightly shrimp treats to your charges while cat-sitting had the same thought I did: "Oh, man!...Mark's friend is never going to forgive him for this." The human equivalent would be giving a kid ice cream--and Christmas!--every night.
Also: mmm, shrimp. Yes, maybe I was a little jealous as well.
I once read an essay about a couple who had broken up but, despite their mutual loathing, agreed to share custody of their beloved dog. The man would pick up the dog each Friday and keep him for the weekends. He made sure that the dog was always hysterically overjoyed to see him--and that this Big Love was noticed by his ex-wife--by feeding the dog plenty of steak during their time together. Heh.
Erm, not that I'm accusing you of anything, Mark...
(RJ Keefe published a couple of photos of Sky over at The Daily Blague, and now this--I just hope readers of both blogs aren't thinking, "Lordy, why doesn't Yvonne get her own damned blog already?!" But thanks for posting this photo--it's one of my favorites of these two guys.)

"That’s what magic is, of course. Something that looks ordinary until it isn’t. Nothing but a hat, until a rabbit comes out of it. Meaning where you didn’t think to look, until you did. A miracle no one else can see, but you."
