Today's Entry: Cats have a staff

2004-11-23 - 9:23 p.m.

They say dogs have owners and cats have a staff. Our German Shepherd Annie (Ah-nee) just got back from her obedience training course where she's been for the last week. It's much more gratifying now to say "Heel" and have her walk at my side without bounding away out of sight. There is nothing I hate more than an animal out of control, running everywhere and becoming a nuissance to the neighbors. We used to have a Dalmation named Sabrina that would tear apart our neighbor's garbage bags every Thursday morning. Nothing more mortifying than going over to apologize and pick up dispersed trash. That mortification got Sabrina banished to my father-in-law's.

Our cats, on the other hand, haven't learned the finer points of obedience training. But they are still remarkably pleasant to have around the house. They love stretching out on the bed while we watch TV. What is even more amazing is how they let Isaiah manhandle them without complaint. I've seen him use them as a pillow without them moving out of the way. He hasn't hurt them yet. Here he is herding them around last night. Maow-maow is the gray/white and Romeo is the orange tabby.

It's time for this personal cat-staff member to hit the hay. Good night.

Doug
