Soldier Ant 

Hang in There Baby

At our dog-walking orientation on Sunday (we're volunteering at the Capital Area Humane Society), LeeAnn and I got to meet one tenacious kitten. Ally is part-monkey, as she dangled from the inside of her comfy crate -- a skill that served her well; it was this climbing ability that kept her from harm inside an alligator's crate. She's quarantined for the time being, and will soon (within a week or so) go onto the adoption floor, where I'm sure she'll find a loving, predator-free home.
