Getting Fixed - Chapter 9
BeeBee Update
BeeBee is now a young lady, or at least an older adolescent (more on that “lady” part later) as she experiences her first heat. With that has come a lot of changes. Her slender frame has filled out although her head remains more fine-boned and fragile looking than the rest of her thanks to her […]
More Alien Activities - 02/24/08
Since the last time I wrote, a lot has happened which is why I haven’t had time to write, including that biggest time-consumer of all, more snow.
I fear I destroyed the scientific validity of this study when I picked up the yellow alien and moved him. In my defense, I did this in self-defense. Fric […]
Alien Trek - 2/21/08
Sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, the alien moved from the center of the yard to near the walk and there it sat until this morning. It was close enough that BeeBee could sniff it by putting her front feet up on the snow bank next to it. Fric observed this, but did nothing […]
Alien Aerobics - 2/19/02
From Monday evening to Tuesday afternoon, the alien was quite active. Somewhere along the line, it moved from the rug in the living room by the couch to an area rug by the aquarium. The next time I noticed it, it was on another area rug by the chaise where Watson and the cat spend […]
Sunday Alien Outing: 02/18/08
I’m back to dating these again because I got way behind in posting the updates.
Frica did the “Oh, my God, there’s the yellow alien!!!” routine yesterday morning, running toward the alien on the kitchen floor as if she’d been searching for it for years. She picked it up and started to take it upstairs, but […]

Lower Level Alien
Since I last wrote, the yellow alien has confined its movements to the downstairs. The first move took it from by the front door to the part of the open concept area I use for a living room. Perhaps it was thinking about doing some entertaining. There it remained until I went to see clients […]

The Alien Shuffle 02/14/08
When we last left the yellow alien, it was doing God-knows-what where while I was watching my driveway turn into a sheet of ice. Several hours later, it appeared in kitchen near the table, about 5′ from its previous location. At this point you might be tempted to think, “Um, OK. Bad weather, can’t go […]
