Curzon is missing. I let him out back to do his business and he just disappeared. I've looked and I haven't found them. Anybody if you're in the Potomac/ Bethesda area please keep an eye out.

In aquatic news: maybe Mr. Morgan Freeman, amphibian at law, is working on a case of snail mail fraud. Depositions are intense. Maybe Morgan Fairchild would just like to say hi. Johnny Depth’s shell is still just a shell.

OTD 2022. Alpine Animal Hospital and I performed our first bilateral rear amputation. You can see the change in Phoenix from his preop picture to his postop picture. Phoenix gave me the courage to take risks and try new things. His ornament has been a long time coming. I hung it with a good cry. 🐦🔥

Batty has been working on calmness, balancing & swatting at toys on a bean bag. I think he’s ready for the winter Junior Pawlympics.
