or so it appears. Sean figured out what was wrong and fixed it, as he's generally able to do with most things :) We had some excitement yesterday and Sean took some great pics:

Any tips?Ok - time to clean litter boxes. Oh joy!TeresaCurrently Reading: The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy FowlerLink of the Day: Blogging National
