But I usually always ask for at least one plastic bag in which I can scoop the clumps of used kitty litter that the three cats with whom I live leave behind in the box. I applaud your creativity in pilfering those yellow bags!!!!! Go for it!

I'm probably one of the few people who, while visiting the lab to have blood drawn, am eyeing the tourniquet (among other things) with a mind to art material potential. I think after all they put you through, the least they can do is provide you with cat truffle bags.<br /><br />As for the blow-up creatures... yes, it just does not do to have a smiling friendly leopard hopping on people. Perhaps the penguin might start pecking visitors instead. As has been noted, he does look rather humorless.Paper Chipmunk (aka Ellen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15014954266777016841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-54001410122990261542013-02-14T04:06:57.951+11:002013-02-14T04:06:57.951+11:00As a fellow cat caregiver, I am only too well awar...As a fellow cat caregiver, I am only too well aware that toxic waste is a pretty good name for some of those bombs :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-25866945897320361842013-02-13T21:14:33.556+11:002013-02-13T21:14:33.556+11:00I think they can spare you a few of those waste ba...I think they can spare you a few of those waste bags with all you have been through there. :) Funny. :)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-74425178459662716222013-02-13T14:59:11.619+11:002013-02-13T14:59:11.619+11:00Mimsie: There is always something to laugh at.
