<div>Yesterday I was taking pork chops out of the oven. I always have kitchen help. Ninja and Shelby were my helpers. I turned around and ran into Shelby. I dripped some of the pan juices onto me, the floor and I think Shelby. She did not care. I burned myself in an unmentionable place through three layers of clothes. I yelled something and Ninja thought that it would be the perfect time to try to kill Shelby. I am just trying to set the pan of chops down when all hell breaks loose. Shelby was just trying to clean the floor. There was a lot of yelling and screaming. Son #2 waded in to separate the combatants. I had Ninja by the scruff. Poor Shelby is such a trooper. She wandered off wondering what all the fuss was about. </div>
<div> </div><div>Then later I couldn't get Shelby in so I grabbed Dinger so he wouldn't escape and went out after her. The other two kitties got out. Oh joy! It is dark and I am holding a squirming clawing black hairball while trying to get the other two. Picasso came in but Davinci had to be coerced by the son. Dinger got mad because he didn't get to romp and he scratched me all up. He is a pip. Everyone made it in alive. </div>
