Chris Arnade (who took the above photograph) writes:

I went to the waterfront to see how Eshete was doing as the hurricane approached. Not surprisingly, despite being in an evacuation zone, he was there taking care of the cats. I asked him if he needed anything, he said no, and then we chatted about cats (his are named Nubia, Mogadishu, Venice, Puerto Rico, Congo, and Damascus. He is a geography nut)

“The cats are like lions, very intelligent. Mysterious creatures, the Pharaohs buried them. Independent, but if they need you they come. Cats are beautiful intelligent comedians”

The Vagina Tree may no longer be with us, but this little fellow (and I have been assured Peapod is a he!)— a baby squirrel who has been separated from his home— stands a fighting chance thanks to a very observant Miss Mousey Brown!

UPDATE, August 30, 2011: I have word that Peapod has been safety returned to his family! Miss Mousey Brown writes:

He’s good. When I went by his nest yesterday, his mom hopped right to it when he gave out an “I’m hungry” squeak. The warm sunny day was good. The nest is probably dry again. All is well.

New York Shitty Day Ender: Meet Franklin

August 23, 2011 ·

I kicked off today’s posts with this particularly fetching porker. So I suppose it is only fitting I end the day with him.

His name is Franklin and per his “person” (who contacted me via email) he was holding court at his place of work and play today. Sensing a good “scoop” when I know one, I headed over without delay.

He’s cute.

No, make that VERY cute!

This is by far the most charming and articulate gent I have met in Williamsburg (two-legged or otherwise) in a long, long time. But alas, while I felt we made a “connection”, we had a very difficult time communicating with each other. I am not fluent in “Swine”. I do, however, have some very good news to relay; I have been granted an exclusive interview with “Franklin”. To this end I will be creating a list of questions for him this evening which his person, Joe, will field to him and translate! This will come to pass soon.

To be continued…

Miss Heather
