poor manus

he tries and tries and tries to get stella to be his friend. and every time, she rebuffs his efforts. this is a shot of him just after his latest attempt. what he doesn't know that i know is that he is making progress. each time he walks up to her, tail wagging, and drops down in front of her, she waits a little longer before ettin up and walking away. that disgusted walk of hers is why she isn't in the pic. have i mentioned how she has to ruin everything?

if you are looking for me in the next 8 weeks, just know that we hit the busy cycle at work, so we'll all be putting in long hours at the office and at home. i'm still loving it there and happy to have such a great place to work, but i will be grumpier for a little while due to lack of sleep and downtime. :)
