Furry kids

I love dogs..I just absolutely adore them. I am petsitting for a friend this weekend. I am strongly reconsidering why the hell I agreed to do it in the first place. I am positive that my decision to get a small dog and see how well that goes before kids was clearly a very good idea. Dogs are furry kids and someone should have spoken up before I got one.

Hey Mandy!

I agree!

Dogs are great - and I absolutely love staffies. They're little barrels of fun and are such placid dogs (provided you don't jump over the back fence into their yard!).

A mate of mine and his wife have a staffie dog and she's such a cutie.

But on a different note: is it just me or are cat people weird?

I went to the Perth Royal Show on the weekend and they have a pavilion devoted just for cats (and one for dogs). As my mate Chris is a cat lover we went through this stupid pavilion and I found it interesting observing the "men" that came into this place.

I don't know what it is but when "men" are around cats they go all... soft. They start moving really slowly with their hands, talking in a soft toned feminine voice, and pout their lips at these worthless creatures!

Eeeek!

I swear their Y chromosome flopped off when they entered the building!

It just seems so unnatural for blokes to be doing things like that (it's okay for women).

Which reminds me of this joke I heard the other day...

What is a cat?
Cats do what they want.
They rarely listen to you.
They are totally unpredictable.
When you want to play, they want to be alone.
When you want to be alone, they want to play.
They expect you to cater to their every whim.
They are moody.
They leave hair everywhere.
They drive you nuts and cost an arm and a leg.

Conclusion: They are tiny women in fur coats.

What is a dog?
Dogs lie around all day, sprawled on the most comfortable piece of furniture in the house.
They can hear a package of food opening half a block away, but they don't hear you when you are in the same room.
They growl when they are not happy.
When you want to play, they want to play.
When you want to be alone, they want to play.
They are great at begging.
They will love you forever if you rub their tummies.
They leave their toys everywhere.
They do disgusting things with their mouths and then try to give you a kiss.

Conclusion: They are little men in fur coats.

hehehe
