Yes. Another one.

  I've gotten over my fear of random animals living in my house. Why? Because in the past two years, a 70 pound dog (Bertha), a little black kitten (Solo) and as of a few days ago, a 30 pound puppy about 5 months old (Magnolia) have made their way into our home. Bertha and Solo found new homes but Magnolia is staying here. Permanently. I've forced myself not to be afraid of this:

  Sure, she's cute... but It chased me down the hall! It was scary!!! I mean she is 230.769231% bigger than me!
Yes, I calculated it t the exact percentage.
  Anyway, as I was saying, I forced myself to not be afraid of Magnolia (Maggie, as everyone calls her). How do I do this? Well, whenever she sniffs me I hit her nose. We don't want her sniffing me do we? Us cats are more proper and we mind our manners- unlike those rowdy dogs that go sniffing each others behinds whenever they feel like it.
  Yesterday, when she tried to follow me down the hall, I showed her who was boss by chasing her the other way. I know it's a bit harsh... but I had to do it! I need to make it clear to her that I am the boss of this house and she shouldn't go chasing me, pouncing on me or sniffing my rear end. Go see Sid if you want to sniff someone's behind (Sid is my canine companion)! Don't expect me to like it or even tolerate it if you sniff my rear! Dogs confuse me. Here I'll tell you what confuses me.

  1. Why do they sniff each others rear ends?
  2. Why do they dislike it when the family leaves? Don't they like a little solitude?
  3. Why do they insist upon their human companions throwing that rubber ball so they can chase after it and then bring it back to them. How do they find entertainment in that?
  4. Why can't Puppies sit still? Can't they just stop moving for five minutes? Four minutes? Even two would be nice!!
  5. When a human brings them a treat, why do they do all the tricks they know in a span of five seconds? Do you think being a freak will make them give you the treat? When they tell you to sit do you think that if you sit, lay down and roll over they'll give you extra treats for some reason??
  6. Why do dogs bathe in public? Be polite and go in the other room for heavens sake!! Not in the middle of a conversation with guests! I mean really!?!?
Well, I've nothing more to say, and I need to chase that puppy one more time so.....

Tootaloo!!
