The Thief and Doggy Insanity

I live in an older house and sometimes the magnetic catches
on the kitchen cabinets wear out. This was recently
taken advantage of by my dog who raided the lower cabinets
and found his monthly supply of Denta Stix. Needless to
say, he gobbled up all of them. This was done in my
absence . I came home to a shredded package which I gathered up and put in the trash.

The next morning when it was time for Rex's treats, a
Denta Stix was not forthcoming. He promptly went to the
trash and got the wrappers and strewed them about, carrying
one in his mouth, as if to say, "You forgot something, Mom." I ignored him but he kept carrying a wrapper
around all day. The next morning the performance was
repeated It was time to go to the mall and purchase
some more to feed his addiction. I am easy.

Bobby went to Pet Smart with me and while I was buying
two months supply of Denta Stix, he was looking at
clothes for his adorable Yorkshire Terrier. We found
a charming blue plaid dress and rushed home to dress her
up. I thought she looked like a doggy housewife and
Bobby told her that she looked like a whore in her ruffles and plaid.

I quite realize that this is insane behavior on our
parts where our dogs are concerned. Neither of ua have
ever met an animal we did not love or who did not come
to love us. Linda is almost as besotted as we are.
She looks forward to visiting Rex as much as to seeing
us when she comes home.

I recently lost Megan and worried that Erin might grieve himself to death, but ultimately, he adapted. I bought him a doggie car seat and often take him out with me or 'out to dinner'. Yes, they do become our family.

Our animals bring us constant joy ... give Rex a hug and a kiss from me.

I know how you feel. My animals are my children. We recently lost one of our dogs (2/11) due to tumors on his spleen we had to have him put down. We are still depressed and very sad. Our remaining dog, a pit, is so confused and sad. He cannot figure out where his buddy went.

so sorry for your loss ... lost two of my kitties last year and still feel intense grief when I think of them. Only consolation is we love them and give them good lives.

Rex is old by dog standards and I can't imagine living without him. He
is nine but still playful. Glad to see you back here, Nancy.

Blue plaid. On one of those hoarders programs there was a white cat dressed in a white cheerleader outfit with pink accents. It was so funny to see that amongst all the trash and extreme clutter.

She was a sight to see and she enjoys wearing clothing. She isn't a
tiny thing, she weighs ten pounds and is the size of a large cat.

Some people suffer from insanity: others enjoy it.

I quite enjoy it. It is part of my plan for life.
