It's A Love/Hate Relationship . . .

This is 'Chawley' My MALE 112 year old CAT !
That drives me absolutely CrAzy, ya know like any Male
 

P E T S ... are they WORTH it ??!

I've had pets all my life . . . cats, dogs and even a tarantula and this 'last' pet still alive, a 16 year old cat. . . well if I do the math in 'cat' years it's 112 years old

So I will take under consideration that my MALE cat is practically senile at age 112, but he drives me Crazy, costs large amounts of $$$, deprives me of R.E.M. sleep . . . but dang he is so cute and cuddly!

So IT IS a true Love/Hate Relationship. Hate him one moment, love him the next.

I will say this: I will not so much as own a "goldfish" when he passes, but I can also guarantee after that you can expect a blog of me crying my eye balls out...

And as I write this column 'my cat' is at my side laying practically on my laptop. Little does he know I am bashing him out. He keeps me awake through out the entire night but as soon as I am up out of bed, where can I find him . . . sleeping soundly in the bed. GRRR



And don't even get me on the subject of D O G S . . .

Heres a good example though . . . "I have family members that have to leave a family get-together just because they have to let the dog out."

OR ... my dog has to come with me 'cause it has separation anxiety, OR . . . I will keep the $$$ air on at home when I leave for work, cause I don't want the dog to have a heat stroke.

It's a vicious cycle too, 'cause once they die, people just have to replace that void, I guess in their life. Me for one, am at the end of my rope.

On the up side:
  • Save Money $$$$ (this is HUGE)
  • R.E.M. Sleep
  • Furniture that will not be clawed up
  • No litter Box gross Clean up


  • Down side: - No one to talk to ?

    . . . To be continued . . after passing of pet . . .
