I rescued a stray. Taking him to the vet tomorrow to ensure he's clean, and then he'll be a full member of the household.

Me: *typing*
Shadow: *walks into study*
Me: What's up?
Shadow: *yarks all over the carpet next to my chair*
Shadow: Good morning.

Me: *reaches for coffee*
Shadow: What are you doing, Monkey? You already finished it.
Me: Habit.
Shadow: Is that like when I go to the cat box?
Me: No. It's like when you eat my shoes.
Shadow: So it's a good thing?
#writerFamiliars
Me: *stares at blank file*
Shadow: Why aren't you typing, monkey?
Me: Don't know how to begin.
S: Why not? Just type.
Me: Don't know what to type.
S: *walks across keyboard*
Me: Lovely.
S: Now it's not a blank page, Food Guy. Write!
