A Not So Lovely Surprise!

Just sitting on the couch last night, watching On The Road with Austin & Santino- when my friend, Jimney here leapt onto my lap from nowhere! (Well, obviously he came from somewhere but...) I showed him to the floor, trapped in a glass and then showed him to the door.

But as I knelt down to take his picture, Ripley took that opportunity to leap on my head!
