growing up, we had a dog named sasha. she was the most laid back dog and would let us dress her up and push her around in a stroller.
i’m allergic to cats (but that didn’t stop husban-dito from bringing one home) and poppy (she’s black like a poppy seed) hates me. if she had hands, she would choke me in the night.
i think she sees me as competition for husban-ditio’s attention. she skulks around his room all day, waiting for him to come home from work. she doesn’t leave his room and never comes downstairs. she’s an evil cat who behaves more like a dog and that’s all i have to say about her.
jimsmuse sez:
a) It surprises me not at all that the Morticia and Gomez of the Jersey Shore have a black cat;
b) If cats had opposable thumbs suitable for choking people we’d all be in trouble; and
c) Hundreds of years ago, there was a superstition that you should never leave a black cat alone with a baby because the cat would sit on the baby’s chest and suck out all it’s breath out of jealous spite. (Just in case you didn’t have enough to keep you awake nights…)
Bailey reminded me of a supermodel.
All looks and no brains.
CWG: I was totally drinking coffee when I read about Poppy choking you. At least I packed oxycleanspray because I’m WEARING A CREAM SWEATER. *glare*
jimsmuse sez: The other office cat falls into that “supermodel” category. Beautiful but nothing between the ears. If I can coax her into posing, you’ll see what I mean…
AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! My cat adores me when he isn’t launching across the room to bite the hell out of me. I am certain he is expressing affection!
My giant granddog Rhett spent the day in the office with me last week
jimsmuse sez: The fact that anyone has a “granddog” scares me. This is probably because my own mother refers to my sister’s dog as her “other grandchild” and I worry this will either give my son a complex or start him out on a hardcore Milkbone habit…
carrrrrrrrrrie: i posted a picture of HVC on my blog just for YOU but you never came by to look at it. (it’s at the end of my ‘dear mom and dad, camp sucks’ post.) or maybe you did and just didn’t like the trip down memory lane.
also, i have VIDEO of said camp circa 1985. did you know dreamer and bj?
The Evil Fred does the “vulture” pose all the time, usually from the top of the fridge. We used to have a cat that acted like a dog and looked like a dead woodchuck. (groundhog)
I had a squirrel once. Coqueluche. Cute little creature that lived cage-free in my room and bathroom… until she turned vicious. She would climb on the bathroom high cabinet and wait for me there. When I came to wash my hands, she would jump on my head and scratch and bite me.
We eventually had to put her to sleep.
I guess we should have gotten a clue when we bought a magnificent male companion for her and she ATE him during the night.

Of how freaking CUTE they are. Seriously, sometimes it’s just heart melting. Apparently this gets worse when you have babies!
jimsmuse sez: You are correct Hayden. Most babies are not as cute as most grown up cats, but I like ‘em anyway.

You are spending all your time over at facebook, aren’t you?
