It's the end of the world as we know it

Do you see this? Ramius is allowing Finn the Repulsive* (Ramius' name for him, not ours) to sit next to him. Sunshine is a pretty powerful cat sedative! I actually got this picture a couple of days ago and a day later Finn sat so close to Ramius that THEY WERE TOUCHING! Unfortunately, I didn't have the camera with me then. When I told Caleb about this whole series of incidents, he began singing, "It's the End of the World as We Know It." I think that just about sums it up around here. I'll be watching them very closely this weekend to make sure they're not trying to take over the world or anything.

*Ramius loves big dogs. He adored Bear, our previous Golden Retreiver. When Finn came to live with us, he was not a big dog. He was a small dog and therefore not to be trusted, played with, or otherwise even acknowledged in Ramius' book. Unfortunately, while Finn is now a big dog, Ramius' opinion of him hasn't really changed that much. Finn thinks it's a bit too much fun to "chase the kitty" for Ramius to really feel like he's worth the effort. On the other hand, Ramius loves my in-laws Golden Retreiver, Zack, who he met when Zack was full grown. When Finn saw Ramius rub against Zack, purring and clearly loving on him, Finn did the doggy equivalent of dropping his jaw.
