Pavel Petunia Blue was glad to see us

even though he looks mighty crabby here. He was actually just tired. While we were away he had learned several different sounds and tones including some very long waaaaaaaa's until he ran out of breath. Also mournful crying for "Howard" Who the hells Howard? He had done a wonderful job of looking after the house; re-designating where his bathrooms were, guarding the neighbors cat from the kitchen window, throwing up on my pillow and scratching the carpet bare at the top of the stairs. Looks like we're going to HAVE to get hardwood now. Thanks Pavel.
