I love animals, I really do, I guess it has just been so long since I lived with one. And isn’t it funny how accustomed our pets become to us. This past weekend John and I house sat for my parents in Ft. Worth, well we were really there to take care of their animals. They have three dogs and two cats, but my sister took one of the cats for the weekend. If there are any animals that have become accustomed to their owners it’s these animals. You see my parents go to bed at about 9 p.m. every night and wake up around 4 a.m. or 4:30 a.m. and these pets have really gotten used to that schedule. I mean naturally at 4 a.m. the two small dogs that stay inside need to go to the bathroom, so who do the call for? Me, and then at about 5 a.m. the cat is tired of being inside and wants to go out too. Not to mention that once I bring the dogs back in the older little terrier wants to sleep with me, little did I know that this 8 pound dogs takes up almost half of the bed and turns into a 110 degree heater when sleeping. So the sleeping was night exactly wonderful. Then my old cat that I had left at home when I went to college, who still loves me more then anyone else in the family, now only drinks water out of the bathroom faucet. Isn’t that weird, anytime you are in the bathroom he comes running and wants you to turn on the water. Oh and also the big dog, a mix German Shepard we discovered is deathly afraid of the water bowls that have the jug of water that feed water into the bowl below. Who knew? She hadn’t drunk anything in almost a day or two and when we finally went outside she went hysterical barking at the water bowl. It was crazy. So, I must admit that I am not ready to have pets, at least not four who go by my parents schedule and lifestyle.

Who's dog is that in the picture? Maybe you should have kept their kitten, he was great. He never once cried or woke us up. In fact, the kitten was much better behaved than my bratty cat. :)
I loved the picture. And not all pets are like that. Our dog doesn't have to go out hardly at all because he is used to being home by himself a lot since we are always gone. He is the best dog ever.
hello hello :) joe and i will be in tx for thanksgiving this year, but guess what - joe will actually be there this weekend. he has to go this weekend and then a weekend in october for his graduate class. it's held somewhere in farmer's branch. he's not sure what his schedule is going to be like since this is his firt time to go, but he was hoping to call you guys and hook up at some point.

Love the picture! The person taking the picture should really rethink their priorities! Cool pic, laptop working? Usually that isn't something you would even have to question!! Hope they're rich and can buy a new one!
