Dog and Cat Diaries

[stking]

I thought this was really funny!:

As seen in a dog's diary:
>> 7 am - Oh boy! A walk! My favorite!
>> 8 am - Oh boy! Dog food! My favorite!
>> 9 am - Oh boy! The kids! My favorite!
>> Noon - Oh boy! The yard! My favorite!
>> 2 pm - Oh boy! A car ride! My favorite!
>> 3 pm - Oh boy! The kids! My favorite!
>> 4 pm - Oh boy! Playing ball! My favorite!
>> 6 pm - Oh boy! Welcome home Mom! My favorite!
>> 7 pm - Oh boy! Welcome home Dad! My favorite!
>> 8 pm - Oh boy! Dog food! My favorite!
>> 9 pm - Oh boy! Tummy rubs on the couch! My favorite!
>> 11 pm - Oh boy! Sleeping in my people's bed! My favorite!

>> Day 183 of my captivity... My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant. Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded - must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair - must try this on their bed. Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear in their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan...

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More important, I overheard that my confinement was due to my powers of inducing "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

Cats don't think, they just react!

Hmmm...I'm not sure about that, Telos....

I have a cat, who has figured out how to open a closed door by reaching up and grabbing the door lever, and pulling it down.
(We don't have door knobs, all our inside doors have a lever type, that you have to open by grabbbing and pulling down).

This is the same cat, that when I was training our dog to ring a bell hung on our door to let me know when she needed to go out and potty, ,,,,,would sit at the door, meow and ring the bell with his paw, .....expecting me to let him out also.
And we don't let our cats outside. (too many coyotes).

So, maybe he thought about it, or just learned it by watching...

My dogs can open trash cans that have a peddle you have to step on to open. They step on it and wahlah, instant snack! The little girl will come to me and bark to get my attention and then lead me to the window to open the shade so she can catch some rays. She will even fuss at me to turn on the Sun on a cloudy day. She is so funny.

Dogs are hilarious too....my Molly, (the picture in my post), barks at her own reflection in windows, glass, and the tv. She's also afraid of the floor heater vents.
When she wants attention, she grabs a squeaky frog that she has, walks up to you, and continually pushes it against your leg, arm, whatever (squeaking it the whole time), until you have no choice but to notice her.

Our lab is kind of psychotic. She will follow you down the road when you're leaving home, because she doesn't want you to leave her. She will also chase bubbles and catch them. And loves retreiving sticks from the creek or lake, which is a pretty good feat, considering she's almost 10 years old.
