Just to let you know, we've started selling some Helpful Kitty merchandise on Cafepress.

You can visit Toby the Helpful Kitty's website at [link] or see the merchandise at [link]

There is also a spwecial section of Whining Kent Pig stuff, for those of you with a sarcastic sense of humor...

Heather and I got married on Halloween...it was fun and frantic and overall I am the luckiest guy in the world. Who would have thought that putting an ad on fastcupid.com (at the time the web site used by the Dallas Observer) as a way to meet women quickly - in an effort to keep me from going back into a long on-again/off-again relationship - would result in finding my soulmate? The plan was to date a few women at once, none of them seriously, and build a whole new circle of friends. Instead the first one I spoke to - the *only* one I tried to contact who didn't post a photo - stole my heart and understood me so completely than I never had a chance. This same Goddess then waited for me while I became a guest of the Federal Government, counted the days until we were together again, and has made my life more wonderful than I ever imagined it could be.

I'll post some of our wedding photos once they are finished!

Heather and I volunteer with an animal rescue group on Saturdays now, walking dogs and cleaning cat cages. It isn't glamorous work but we love the animals and want to help. I'm going to start posting a few photos at a time of some of the animals, just candid shots. They are all so sweet, even the ones who have been abused by their previous owners.

Life is slowly getting back to normal. I've posted a few photos taken with an Olympus D-520 digital camera that a friend gave Heather for her birthday. It's used, but better than what she had before which was nothing. I'm still working at the men's boutique 6 days a week for next to nothing, and tryign to get through the final 30 days of my "time" before I become a human being again. Not that I ever felt so comfortable as one of them....

...and things continue to move forward. I hope to be driving again by next week, and living at home in earlu July. I miss the simple things - waking up next to the woman/Goddess I love, petting my cat, cooking dinner. giving a foot rub, watching a DVD...life can be sweet, even with all the baggage I still drag around.
