One might think, given her trenchant wit and shrewd commentary, that Mojo is a particularly observant and discerning individual. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Take, for example, the dog, Rosie. Okay, so Mojo DID observe various behaviors and indicators that something was not quite right. Enough that Mojo initiated a trip to the vet to have things checked out. A battery of expensive tests revealed that she had Lyme disease and a previously undiagnosed heart murmur.

One of the many perks of the job, don'tcha know.  MORE Mojo! »

Yes, it's about Ratty again, here on the left starring in his very own lolcat. As much as Mojo desperately wishes this blog does NOT turn into one of those "Mister Fluffy is SOOOoooo cute!" sort of fiascos, there is something about emotionally needy and/or traumatized animals dealing with the temporary loss of a household member (as of course you know, my Favorite Husband is away for the week, dodging drug cartels down in Mexico--although I talked to him last night and he says the situation where he is is actually BETTER than it was when he was there three years ago. Back then the day he showed up Unfriendly People had just bombed a newspaper office and authorities were driving around with machine gun turrets on their cars. The locals tell him it was much worse then but for some reason back then it didn't make the news like it's making the news in Juarez today. Anyway, the Favorite Husband reports that it's actually pretty laid back so he went shopping and bopping about and it's all totally cool) ....
