You know, I had this fantasy (I love animals, just generally, but I have dogs and will only ever have dogs 'cause I am really really allergic to cats) that kittens would be much easier than puppies. I take it that was just my delusion about how the other half lives?

And, yeah, I was feeling schmoopy after the whole Ozfest. That fandom never fails to send me reeling into the arms of the Fandoms of Safety and Comfort: Sports Night, due South, and The Sentinel, in that order.

Glad you liked the recs!
