Happy birthday to Giacometti

Dear Giacometti is celebrating two years of age today.
He started the day loosing his collar somewhere around the precincts, without however disclosing exactly where somewhere is...He continued with a bite of black caviar, mind you not the Beluga kind but something a bit more popular that you can buy in any and every Føtex in this great country. After that, he felt like proof reading a manuscript I was preparing for a presentation. He left an indelible mark on it with his sweet little paw. The negative of things is sometimes quite positive...We wish him many happy returns from outdoorsiness and may he leave his stamp on human society and the beast community in years to come.

Good-bye to Ulla

We've had the pleasure of having Ulla for a shorter visit. It was touching to see Giacometti and Ulla in the process of getting to know one another. After some days of insecure detente, we witnessed a gradual rapprochement and finally the formation of durable affectionate bonds between the old woman and the beast. The romance of the month on the premises! Giacometti wishes Ulla a good flight home on Friday from his own passenger seat in the kitchen were I left him fastened to a dream this morning.
