Love them, most of the time.

They are all driving me crazy! Don't get me wrong, I love my dog Abby and the kittens. But I wish that they would leave me alone! It seems like yesterday and today they all need more extra petting and holding and attention. Abby is following me around, the kittens are in my lap, on my chest when I sit down. I have to shut the door to the bathroom or I would have kittens in my lap while I'm doing.......well you know. As it is, I can see little paws under the door searching.

And I feel guilty when I push them away so I don't push them away too often. The reason I feel guilty is that about 15 years ago I had another dobe. Her name was Princess Tina Too. ( Her mom was Princess Tina ) She was about 5 when she died. At the time I lived in Dillingham AK. It was winter and she had just come back inside from her morning outing, I was getting ready for work and she was getting in my way so I snapped at her and told her to go lay down. She turned from me and had a seizure and died in about 5 minutes. I have always felt bad that my last words to her were in frustration. Never did find out why she died. She was a few months pregnant so that might have been a problem. ( Part of the agreement with the previous owner ) or she might have gotten into some anti freeze?

Now I'm going to get Abby and the kittens and we will all cuddle on the bed while I pet them all and we will take a group nap.

  1. aaaah. I didn't know that's why you are so tender hearted with the annoying pets....so why doesn't that stop you from snapping at kids who are making noise in a car? Seems like you might have a wee bit more compassion for a kid?

  4. Sounds like you have kids. I remember locking myself in the bathroom a time or two just to escape.

  5. Those animals do drive my crazy sometimes too. Just count to 10 and maybe the urge to freak out will pass.

  6. Aww! The kitties want to play "grabby paw"! It's even cuter when one is on one side of the door and the other on the other and they're playing with each other.

    I once jokingly told a friend to "drop dead". He committed suicide a couple weeks later. I will never say that to anyone else ever again.
