I am sorry to tell all of you that my sister Jenn Moffatt passed away early this morning. Thank you all for your love and support. She is very well loved and I have faith knowing she is at peace, having set down her burdens and troubles.

Bound, Chinatown Demons, Book One
Chinatown, San Francisco.
A different place — another time— and where the city’s streets keep secrets, shadowy mysteries SFPD Inspector Spencer Ricci needs to dig through after he finds himself on a case involving a dismembered, mummified man in a restaurant’s locked storage room.
Spencer drags around a lot of baggage, including an ongoing battle with the bottle and a long career as an LAPD detective he’d set fire to in a blaze of booze-soaked mistakes. San Francisco is supposed to be a new start but his old ghosts haunt him, beckoning him back into his self-destructive bad habits. Bad habits that include contemplating doing dirty things with the wrong kind of guy and this time, it’s a sleek, cold-tempered medical examiner named Xian Carter with a complicated reputation.
For a century-old demon, Xian Carter is content with his secretive life. Hiding his nature from the mundane world, he blends in with the city’s inhabitants as best he can but even the best of predators make mistakes. Delving into the mysteries of the dead provide a welcome distraction from endless nights and hiding in plain sight amuses him, until something supernaturally wicked comes knocking on his door with an extremely hot, broody Inspector close behind.
Murder makes for strange bedfellows and this one is no exception. The twists and turns of the case leaves Xian and Spencer on a wild goose chase after clues but Xian can only hope there’s a human at the end of the trail—because the last thing San Francisco needs is another predator.
Friday Borking Report…. And So Many Changes
Today’s BORKING REPORT!
There’s a LOT of activity here and the Potato is very chill and happy. BUT today became even better because…. BORKING AND AUNTIE JESSICA!
He hit the ground borking and came back happy, covered in pieces of damp grass bits and just generally pleased with himself. He came in, danced around, drank a lot of water then crashed.
So… it’s a GOOD Potato Day.
From his Aunt Jessica:
Gus had a fun Bork this nice Friday morning! There were a few dogs walking off their leashes but they stayed away from Gus so it was all good. I hope he’s having fun with all the people over!
Best,
Jessica
Monday Borking Report…And Jenn Update.
First the Jenn Update. She’s doing well. Still under sedation but the surgery went great and she’s actually in the recovery ICU at the hospital. They are easing off sedation and trying to get her off the ventilator. Hopefully I’ll be able to see her waking up soon and complaining that all of her electronics are not there when I go in. I’ll have to at least bring her the phone. Dunno if they’d let her have a laptop in ICU. Also, when she moves out of ICU, we no longer will be able to visit unless they change the rules. But we’ll be able to zoom. So I have that to look forward to. I’ll have to load it on.
Today’s BORKING REPORT!
I am physically at work today so I did not get a chance to see the Potato off for his Bork today but this morning was chilly and a bit damp so I figured the Blond Potato would have a great walk.
His world’s still a bit upside down but he’s a happy little borker and went off into the world with an opinion and a light step.
From his Aunt Jessica:
Gus had fun on his walk! It wasn’t too hot out so he had lots of energy for barking at everything! He went straight to the water bowl when he got back inside.
Best,
Jessica
Today’s Borking Report
Today’s BORKING REPORT!
So today is… a very busy and emotional day but The Blond Potato will not be taken from his bi-weekly rounds to secure the neighbourhood and give his opinions. Fresh from his bath and brushout, he left the house with his Aunt Jessica full of vim and vigor…and in FULL BORK!
He’s just gotten back, got lots of scritches and is doing his cooldown roll around the house and looking to see if someone won’t toss him a bit of bacon or perhaps even a full steak. Which well, no. But hope springs eternal.
Still… scritches and love were given.
From his Aunt Jessica who loves him dearly:
Gus had fun borking at everyone today! We were able to keep our distance so he was good. I let him roll around in the grass a little because I know he loves it!

Amid all of this… how about a bit of normal? Today’s Borking Report!
From his Aunt Jessica:
Lots of borking today!! It was a bit hot out so I let Gus take a few shade breaks. I hope he’s getting plenty of water and I’ll see him soon!
Best,
Jessica
Because the Potato needs to Bork….
Today’s BORKING REPORT….
I’m trying to keep Gus on his routine and one of those things is his Aunt Jessica. Who he really needed to see today. It’s a lot cooler today and he went off on his bork in a typical Potato fashion.
He’s been a very good Potato with everything that is going on and right now in his cool down phase. His bork went well. He even peed. Which isn’t typical but a good pupper behaviour.
From his Aunt Jessica:
Great to see Gus again! He had a fun walk in the nice cool weather. I’ll see him again Friday!
Life… sucks.
So, amid all of the nonsense of life, my sister Jenn (who lives with me) is currently in ICU and very sick. So she’s been my focus for the past few days.
I haven’t forgotten all of you. And I am so grateful for your being here. It’s been a rough few months and I’m hoping to have something for you.
Much love…and there will be a Borking Report tomorrow. The Potato’s walk was postponed on Friday because of what was going on. But he needs his out time.
Kisses to all of you, vote and love your friends.
Today’s BORKING REPORT! The Blond Potato Cruises!
Today’s BORKING REPORT!
The Potato got his eye binged because I accidentally poke him in the eye putting his kit on. He forgave me but there was a lot of side-eye. LOTS OF SIDE-EYE.
Mother, why did you do that to me? I am a good Borker!
He got over it with a few scritches. THEN his Aunt Jessica arrived without warning! Which was fine because the text just didn’t hit and he was ready and he was SOOOOO HAPPY!
And promptly began borking to tell her he’d been poked in the eye and the asshole cat got out yesterday and was a continuous asshole all day.
Dog’s a Narc.
From his Aunt Jessica:
The walk went pretty smooth! There wasn’t many people out. We also made it almost the full distance before he laid down and wanted to walk back! Hope he’s relaxing now!
A Day Ending in Why?
Ever have one of those days? Today is that day for me. So right now, I’m eating a salad and contemplating life.
Actually I’m contemplating watching a sashimi video on youtube.
Watch this space for news. 😀 I’ve got something coming up fast on the horizon that I’ll be sharing.
But for now… here’s a kitteh.
