The Curious Incident of The Dog in The... Daytime?

I would like to introduce Elaine the sock kitty.  Elaine is Maurice's slightly younger cousin.  She had an unfortunate experience with a very unskilled plastic surgeon not too long ago which is why her ears are so misshapen and why her liposuction resulted in such a poor shape.  It's a rather touchy subject, so I would appreciate it if you didn't mention anything in front of her. 


Frances, as always, was very welcoming of Elaine.  She even sucked her paw as a sign of her appreciation of Elaine's company.  At least, I think it was appreciation.  It could have been teething-related aggression now that I think about it.  Huh.


After introducing Elaine to Frances, I carefully made the introduction to The Boy.


This is where everything went horribly, horribly wrong.


Note the look of abject horror on Frances' face.


Oh, the horror!


Thankfully, Elaine only suffered surface flesh wounds and has already completely recovered.  I would be happy to send her your well wishes. 

(Note: I've been awake since four.  Because Frances thought that would be a good time to start screaming at the top of her lungs.  Am moderately delusional, so it's likely that Maurice and Elaine will have more friends with odd life stories in the very near future.  Argh.)
