My cat Snoopy (her name is Snoopy because she likes to snoop) loves to drink water from the kitchen faucet. So naturally, I thought what a great subject to photograph with my new 105 mm/2.8 macro lens! I'm so excited for this lens. I bought it from a fellow ClickinMom. It's great so far, even though I've only taken like 10 pictures with it. I can wait to get out and experiment.  Here's my first experiment!

And, speaking of pets, remember how I posted that my dog, Yuki, was peeing all over our house?  (See here).  Well, I took her into the vet yesterday and discovered that she had 3 large stones in her bladder.  Poor thing.  The doctor wondered how she could even urinate with stones that large!  But Yuki never complained, never seemed in pain, and never seemed unhappy.  She's such a sweet, people-pleasing dog. Today, she had surgery to remove the stones.  When I called to find out how she did, the vet reported that she was in recovery and doing well.  Poor baby.
