My favorite characer in the Discworld series is actually his commanding officer, Vimes. I wish all the Discworld books were Vimes books :p

But Carrot is awesome. And has a certain dogginess about him. And carries an adoptive name that suits a very particular adaptation :P

All animals have middle names.
Diz has not yet settled on his. Which is odd because previous cats have had them since they were much younger.
It might be because I didn't share him with anyone.

Carrot is fine. Carrot will do. I will come round.

Yes, but you have to give props to Corporal Nobbs, who has to carry around a paper certifying that he is actually human.

And Lord Vetinari, who could give lessons to Machiavelli.

I had to send back the last book to the library unfinished. Snuff was pretty good, but a slow read. I do enjoy reading of Vimes' attempts at domesticity.

Now, see, I really liked Snuff, but struggled with Unseen Academicals.

That the one about Soccer. Loved it. Especially the glimpse into Unseen University. There was one bit with the wizards playing some ridiculous game from a book since it was 'tradition'. Poor Rincewind.

I'll scope out possibilities for leaving Carrotcake with the two Js. He'll be four months old by then so I think he will be ok being left overnight.
