Random canine thoughts

One question:

According to Angel, 24/7 scritching is appropriate. She isn't exactly subtle about wanting scritches and attention, so how can we do "extra"? LOL

If she's anything like my cat was - you should stop whatever you're doing right now, and provide scritches and attention. There is no reason for the staff to do anything humans do when the cat is available for attention. You didn't really want to read a book, pay bills or work on the computer when you could be giving lovies to the cat, now, did you? My nephew's cat was the same way, especially in the kitchen. If someone was cooking or doing dishes, and he wanted to receive petting, he would either sit smack in the middle of the kitchen floor or hop up on the counter to get his people's attention. Silly kitty, I miss him very much.

What gets silly is when Patch and Angel try to monopolize the available human(s).

I've said many mornings, lying in bed under a blanket of dog and cat "Guys, I'm warm and toasty, but I'm SQUISHED!"

BTW, Angel didn't get extra attention for National Puppy day, but she DID get a new rope and a bag of Mother Hubbard dog biscuits.

And as I returned to bed this afternoon I saw a dog and a cat looking at me.

The looks on their faces told me "Dude, you stole our heat rock! Bring it back!"

Hey, at least you didn't have to fight for space!

Angel's definitions:

Multitasking: The ability to play tug of war with a rope, watch the cat, and still nap all at the same time.

Not that Angel is set in her ways....

Her boy normally gets home from school and gets off the bus at about 3:20pm, give or take a few minutes.

This afternoon, they had an emergency evacuation drill before the busses left school for the day, which set them back a few minutes. At 3:27 I had a dog sitting on me in bed to wake me up wondering where her boy was.

They're just dumb animals...

Oh my goodness, Angel! You were ready for your boy to arrive, and then he was delayed for a short while. I bet you were very happy when he got home! He must enjoy having you as greeter!

I don't think you are dumb at all. I've read that cats can get accustomed to routines. Maybe dogs do too, sometimes.

Here's my guess at the rest of the story ... Angel's boy came home from school, Angel was delighted to see him and was ready to play
