A dog's life

I've been thinking a lot about our fish (Diamond, Lil Mo, Big Dawg, Metros, and Chelsea) and what would happen to them when we leave...okay, I've really been thinking about boring it would be to be a fish stuck in a tank and wondering what the hell do they think about all day stuck in that tank, swimming around and around, never getting anywhere (much life my job). So, I mentioned something to Paul when I talked to him earlier about these things and of course he was hateful saying he was going to flush the fish down the toilet to which I reminded him that Big Dawg would probably not fit down the toilet so he said he'd let the cats have them and then I got upset so we had to change the subject.

The new subject...the dogs and cats (1 guess as to who chose this topic of conversation) and how they are all just chillaxing in the living room, not doing anything. And Paul mentioned that MY life was much like the dogs and cats lives which made me think:

My life is like our dogs and cats. Let me give you the evidence:

1. I get up whenever I want, often with no real purpose for waking.

2. Upon waking I take care of my "business."

3. I may or may not leave the house on any given day.

4. I may clean myself during the day...or I may not (closely related to #3).

5. You can often find me napping on the couch during the day...covered with 3 dogs and 2 cats with another dog next to the couch.

6. I love to eat.

7. I weigh twice as much as our Boxer.

8. I may or may not exercise during the day. I will chase things, like the ice cream truck.

9. I have to sleep completely covered with blankets...much like my little dogs.

10. I love to give kisses and to snuggle.

11. I constantly nudge Paul's hand so that he rubs my feet, plays with my hair, etc.

12. I am fiercely loyal.

13. I can spend hours in meaningless activities.

14. I will sleep in front of the fireplace for days if given the opportunity.

15. I am an expert at conserving energy.

16. I am easily distracted....by bugs, clouds, noise...

Hmmm...sad...
