Be safe, everyone! (UPDATED)

Our hearts and purrs and prayers go out for all those in the path of Hurricane Irene, including our own family (beans and furries) who live very close to the projected path in NY. Please be safe, everyone -- and get out of the way if you can.

UPDATE (6:40 am CDT, 8/28/2011): We're in contact with our family in Scarsdale, NY, and they seem to be to the west of the path of Irene's eye. We hope and pray this continues and they are all safe and secure.

Audace, master napper!

Audace usually disappears around 9 am each day and snoozes under a bed or somewhere else equally dim and hidden. This day, however, for some reason, he chose to stick around. He stayed about two or three feet away from me all morning! Made me chuckle!!
