close-up of the carved "critter," no idea what kind of animal this is supposed to represent, but it's cute nonetheless...

For those readers/fans who've noticed the abesnce of my regular helpers, Felix and Atticus...after photographing the cuuh I went looking for them, and here is what I found:

Felix is napping near the cuuh but out of the camera view, on one of the dining room chairs. He always has at least one of his buddies nearby, today it is the Millenium Bug


And Atticus is in one of his favored sleeping spots, on the rug in the yellow bathroom. Perhaps he found today's cuuh (dare I say it?) boring??? It obviously couldn't compete with a summer afternoon's nap in any case!
