Day 21: Hands
Today’s post is about hands. I was sorely tempted to link to yesterday’s post, because after I chose it, I realized it could have worked for today as well. But that would be boring or cheating or something like that. Instead, I’m going with the cutest pair of hands I’ve seen in a long time.
Yes. Lady. Again. She has always crossed her paws like this, and it never fails to start my, “Aw, isn’t she cute” response. I’m sure she knows this and uses it shamelessly to her full advantage. It helps to mask the purely sinister look her eyes always seem to have.
While being very mild-mannered with humans, the life of a bug in her sights is measured in nanoseconds. She is a fierce hunter who would thrive in an outdoor environment. Or, so she tells us on a regular basis when asking to go outside.
When we’re in San Antonio, I can pick up the key to the back door so quietly I can’t hear myself do it, but wherever Lady is in the house, I hear a nearly instantaneous thump followed by her being at the door before I can open it. You’ve seen the Rescue Puma commercial from GEICO? Lady is that puma.
