Last week I house sat for a friend that has a cat. Her name is Penny and she is deaf and hears by vibration although I wonder if she is truly deaf or not. No matter, she's a cat and a bitch and a slut @ that. She doesn't come around when I come to visit when her family is home. In fact, if she sees me she makes herself scarce....Its a different story though when no one is home though. She's a slut for attention and treats and to go outside. All in all, she's a lovable little thing when she comes around. Well Hmmmm...
I have a couple of other freinds that have 2 dogs one of whom is actually a small man in a dog suit. His name is Simon and he is the most curious of pets and a smart little dog. I have known Simon since he was a mere pup and now a grown Cardigan Corgi. I am thinking he is of 7 years now....that's 49 in people years. OK, do the math and figure it out. They also have another foster/adopted dog named Dusty. She is a smallish herding dog of some type, brownish coat. She is a bit angst-ridden, if that is the right word and they are both obsessively hungry. When they eat (twice a day) they devoured their food as if it were their last meal and they are on their way to the gallows or something or Jerry Springer is about to start and they don't want to miss a moment of the mayhem...anyway, I digress. The dogs are a quirky sort especially what I know of Simon. He will watch TV and i think he understands what he is seeing. Especially, when other animals are on the screen. He talks to you and I can understand his dog speak to a certain extent. He is also a good little cuddler. He has a charge of his own, as well. My friends have an adorable little girl the same age as my nephew (2) and Simon herds her like a hawk sometimes. He always has an eye on her and tells Mom or Dad when Sis is into mischief.
It seems when I am sitting, the dogs try to take advantage my Innocent nature and play me with those sad little doggy eyes. I am not swayed, as I am an old dog aficionado from way back and not fooled easily. They get some treats but not too many. The dogs like ice cubes and that's a non-calorie food and I am sure sharpens their incisors. Do dogs have incisors? Interesting. Hmmmmm.......
