What did your pet(s) do today?

Smudge decided it was good fun to bolt out of the front door and run into the street! He laughed and laughed while Justin and I ran after him like crazy fools! Thank goodness we caught his darty little ass! Scary moment!

anyone else's pups do victory laps around the house after they *go*

My cats did not do anything today. They were instructed to clean the house but decided to nap all day instead. Lazy cats.

I think they might be organizing a strike or something because my cats are not doing their chores either!

My orange winged amazon, Blue, (he's a parrot) decided to rile up the dogs by imitating different dogs barking from the living room while they were in the bedroom resting. When they ran into the living room barking wildly he would stop, and after a bit they'd come back into the bedroom to lay down and he'd start up again. Bad birdie....

My big fat four year old Siamese kittyboy made such a nuisance out of himself for over an hour this morning while I tried to sleep by shoving his head into my hands, and when I put them under the blanket he exhibited all of the digging skills of Mike the Steamshovel (childrens book refererence). I made some half hearted scritching along his chin and neck while he bullied me into vigorous scratching along his back and sides. After I finally was able to satisfy his demands, he took half of my pillow and fell to sleep.

Do you live in a zoo? You have lots of different animals at your place.

A lot of us are kept by our pets, and are not keepers of our motley crews.

It is affordable (food, vet care/health insurance, square footage, play things, and affection) for me to have up to 5 rescued cats at a time, two resident dogs (I actually own three, but one of the resident dogs, Obi, & his brother Chewy are shared custody kids), and two small animals (rabbits, rats, or other small creatures). So, I generally do.

I'm lucky enough to have met my animal loving match, in Gaige, who is also an avid rescuer and supporter of animal welfare rights. I frequently encounter folks who say some very rude things to me, about the fact that I have a full house (hoarder/cat lady, you get the picture. Then they wonder why I prefer animals to people most of the time). Frankly, I feel like the world needs more people like Gaige and I, because there are so many furry children without forever homes.

Hid from the vacuum. Considering that her shedding made a vacuum necessary I said fair enough.

Right after her bath, my little 4lb maltese used a box to get on the bed and "dried" herself on my comforter...ugh. I know what is going to be washed tomorrow.
