Muppet-Face

This sweet(?)-faced little guy was my buddy Muppet, who died 10 years ago. Just dug this photo out of a drawer. His name is Muppet for obvious reasons, at least obvious to me. Poor Muppet was the proverbial scaredy-cat, afraid of everything from our parakeet to vacuum cleaner hoses to stairs. And yet he lived 18 years. I believe some of them were pleasant to him. At least while eating.
