Not too much knitting going on - summer teaching is very busy, things move fast. It feels like I'm teaching my normal number of classes instead of just one.

I do have the legs almost finished for the lion cub though. I plan to finish the last one, sew them up, and stuff them tonight.

This morning, two bad things: I found a dead rat (apparently killed by a cat) in my backyard, ugh. (And here I am being scrupulously careful of my trash, and not even doing outdoor composting because of rats! I still get them! I wonder if they were attracted by my neighbors' Matterhorn of Mostly-But-Not-Totally-Empty beer cans in their yard). And then I stepped in something. I'm guessing it has to be dog poo because I've never known cat poo to smell that bad. I had to run back in and wash the sole of my shoe.

If I ever find the person who is letting their dog run in my yard...this is the third or fourth time I've had this kind of "little surprise", but the first time for my backyard.
