avocado

this is ziggy...



i have this theory. that ziggy...
is a dog.

i've been basing my whole relationship with ziggy off of this canine assumption. i take him on walks, feed him dog food, put him in dog training class so that after 6 months of class i can go through this process...

"sit, ziggy."



"ziggy. hey. ziggy."



"sit."



"no. ziggy. i said, 'sit.' are you listening to me?"



"sigh... fine."



"stand there... good boy."

as i was saying, i've been assuming for the last few years that ziggy's a dog but a neighborhood tomcat has openly decided to challenge my ruling. i don't have a picture of the cat but he is huge and beautiful and in love with ziggy.
i know it's love because of the late night "mreeeooooowwww"ing outside the window and the gifts left on our doorstep (dead mouse, dead sparrow) and the general always aroundyness of the tomcat. there is something very real going on and i don't know how to break it to ziggy's boyfriend that ziggy is probably a dog.


you know how an avocado is technically a fruit and we all know it and we've seen the proof but still, when it comes down to it, we consider it a vegetable?
ya, ziggy is an avocado.
