"That night, back at Centennial Park, police again used tear gas on protesters. Police tased two black college students, who were in their car; two of the officers were terminated on Sunday, and three were put on desk duty, after a harsh reprimand from Shields and Bottoms. Cummings was on the scene with his camera again. “They were trapping people in parking lots after curfew,” he said. “I saw five squad cars go into a parking lot and arrest everybody in the parking lot, so we took off. I didn’t want to provoke them. I just ran.” On Sunday, National Guardsmen were stationed around Centennial Olympic Park; police patrolled the Lenox mall. Another sixty-four people were arrested, bringing Atlanta’s total this weekend to almost three hundred. Cummings wished he could have stayed out longer. “I got some powerful images, though,” he said. “Grandfather would be proud.”"

* Livia's been making slow but steady progress. A couple weeks ago, I convinced her to stay in the safety chair while I did lungs even though she's been scared of the machine since she came. I'm getting about a 50% success rate on herstaying. When she doesn't stayin the safety chair, she usually moves one chair over or sits in the window sill instead of hiding in the bedroom.
Tonight she did another brave thing. She likes to sleep on the back of the sofa, as it's more comfortable than the desk, but means she can be really close to me without touching. She is a huge fan of hanging out peacefully in a group without touching ust generally. Tavy came a long andalso wanted to sleep on the back of the sofa and instead of ceding the sofa entirely she just moved over so they weren't touching! Win!
Then she did a third brave thing. For some reason, I'm not scary sitting at my desk, but if I come around to sit on the sofa side, I'm a scary monster.
Until tonight! She looked alarmed the whole time I was there adleaned away if she thought I might be thinking of touching her, but she stayed not only for the soup, but when I came back with pie she was still there. It's a really big step for her.
For the record, she does like pettins and scritches, but she only allows them when she and the human are in predesignated locations and relative positions. She has a really hard time trying new things, so in the two and a half years she's lived her, the petting locations have ben expanding very slowly, but they are expanding.

"That night, back at Centennial Park, police again used tear gas on protesters. Police tased two black college students, who were in their car; two of the officers were terminated on Sunday, and three were put on desk duty, after a harsh reprimand from Shields and Bottoms. Cummings was on the scene with his camera again. “They were trapping people in parking lots after curfew,” he said. “I saw five squad cars go into a parking lot and arrest everybody in the parking lot, so we took off. I didn’t want to provoke them. I just ran.” On Sunday, National Guardsmen were stationed around Centennial Olympic Park; police patrolled the Lenox mall. Another sixty-four people were arrested, bringing Atlanta’s total this weekend to almost three hundred. Cummings wished he could have stayed out longer. “I got some powerful images, though,” he said. “Grandfather would be proud.”"

* Livia's been making slow but steady progress. A couple weeks ago, I convinced her to stay in the safety chair while I did lungs even though she's been scared of the machine since she came. I'm getting about a 50% success rate on herstaying. When she doesn't stayin the safety chair, she usually moves one chair over or sits in the window sill instead of hiding in the bedroom.
Tonight she did another brave thing. She likes to sleep on the back of the sofa, as it's more comfortable than the desk, but means she can be really close to me without touching. She is a huge fan of hanging out peacefully in a group without touching ust generally. Tavy came a long andalso wanted to sleep on the back of the sofa and instead of ceding the sofa entirely she just moved over so they weren't touching! Win!
Then she did a third brave thing. For some reason, I'm not scary sitting at my desk, but if I come around to sit on the sofa side, I'm a scary monster.
Until tonight! She looked alarmed the whole time I was there adleaned away if she thought I might be thinking of touching her, but she stayed not only for the soup, but when I came back with pie she was still there. It's a really big step for her.
For the record, she does like pettins and scritches, but she only allows them when she and the human are in predesignated locations and relative positions. She has a really hard time trying new things, so in the two and a half years she's lived her, the petting locations have ben expanding very slowly, but they are expanding.
