Then of course, I feel bad for yelling at the silly thing, but boy, he is a brat! I've realized why I'm so exhausted - I'm not getting sleep because of him. When he gets me out of bed, after knocking everything off--counters, night stands, etc, and once I'm out of bed, he turns around and Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296300032567383021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173456260059938165.post-55548740412344080862016-09-25T20:18:13.424-07:002016-09-25T20:18:13.424-07:00Mary--We used to have cats and they ARE a puzzle. ...Mary--We used to have cats and they ARE a puzzle.

They hang around, tails wagging, and usually end up getting something because they're just so damn cute.

So I'm thinking if I were to get a treat every time I got something written, I'd get a lot more written, right?Cathy C.

I learn from my dog (Gus) every day, mostly that while it's endearing to smile when you see people you love, it's probably better to lift both sides of you mouth when you do it rather than one because that just makes you look a bit weird.

Since losing Vern, and then recently adopting Charlie, I can only feel "schmaltzy" when answering that question. All four of my furry family members have taught me about unconditional love, and joy, and redemption.
