I am now reduced to perusing sales for kitty litter and knuckle bones! I once gave lectures to students that hung on my every word, I now prattle to hear myself talk as the cats yawn and consider it background noise, I lay down the law and they promptly shred it. I repeat the laws and the glance at the dogs who carry it to them to re shred it. I feel accomplishment when People say how well trained the dogs are. I smile knowing that they have no Idea how well trained I AM. The dogs and cats in their wisdom continue to show us off to new members of all specie and make us do our tricks (look at this if I meow like sooooooooo she will hurry over and scratch on command!) (if i whine in this tone she will abandon he knitting and walk me I don't have to go I just wanted to see the neighbors)
So life just keeps getting better and better, eh?
