Vox Hunt: It's Life Size
Show us some macro photography.
Submitted by NomDeCocon.
I don't know how macro this photo is, but you can see every bit of fur on his chubby little face. I miss my kitties. I always ask after them when I call my parents. It's always the same thing: "DeeDee is eating and MeiMei is hiding."

My dad on animals and race
I told my dad about the joint-crackingly cold weather temperatures in NYC, and he told me that according to some Chinese tradition, we are going to have a cold spring, too.
"But what about Punxsutawney Phil?" I asked. "He didn't see his shadow. That means spring is near."
"No, no, no, the groundhog is a Caucasian. I don't care about his traditions, only the Chinese tradition."
But he's an animal, dad, I said. Animals don't have a race or ethnicity.
"Oh yes they do."
I asked him what DeeDee's ethnicity is.
"Oh, he's Chinese. I could see it in his eyes when we picked him up in the pet store."
Okay, then what is MeiMei's background?
"I think she's mixed," my dad said, "Half Chinese and half something else."
I told him I think she has some Russian in her.
"Yep. Half Chinese and half Russian."
Ha ha ha! I wonder if my dad just made that up on the spot to tease me, or if he's actually put some serious thought into this.
Speaking of animals, I saw dogs coming in for the Westminister Dog Show at Madison Square Garden. There were whole bunches of them in carriers in the lobby of the Hotel New Yorker near Penn Station, howling and yapping. So cute! I love all little furry animals, regardless of race or ethnicity. Just as long as they are squeezable.

Awww...
I know some PR person planted this story ahead of Valentine's Day to get funding or whatever, but I love this photo because it makes me think of Ron and me...
No, really, I miss my R-r-r-ronsie-poo. Sniff.
