Beach House in the Burbs

Tallulah (the cat) loves walks around the block as much as Prissy (the dog) and Chrissy (the man). I guess it's true what they say. Sometimes when you order Mongolian Beef, you get cat. YUM!

Once upon a time, many, many years ago, there was a King. When he died , as even Kings must, it was in a bathroom. This unfortunate demise seemed worth commemorating in a shower curtain.
