Halfway off topic. I have had two Dachshunds. The first lived to be 12 1/2 and the second was nearly 16 when he left me. If you want a dog for quite a while....the smaller the breed, the longer the lifespan.
Jim and I both love dogs and cats. We have 4 cats and a dog right now. |
Over the years we have had About 14-15 dogs and cats. My husband never had any pets and I didn't either. I have a soft heart and soft head. All but one cat has been strays or feral cats. The dogs I bought except for three. Now we have 2 small dogs and two cats. He didn't want any of them but, he has taken to all of them.

Thanks for the chuckle.

same here i grew up with house cat and i have always had a house cat so we have a house cat ha ha
|
I wanted a kitten, he wanted a bird. So he got a bird and somehow I got a puppy. :D
Oh well. Close enough. LOL |
We just spent the weekend with our cat and Daughter's dog in the house. Not good! The cat was just fine, he gets along with anyone/anything. But the dog gets along with no one. She is not allowed in Doggie Park because she picks fights with the other dogs. So one or the other had to be outside. (The dog was just itching to go chase those cows across the road, so she had to be firmly tethered.) When we wanted both of them to be inside, one had to go to jail. The dog's jail was Daughter's bedroom or the cat was locked into the laundry room.

At one time we had a mama cat and her 7 kittens...they all lived in our bedroom. Shortly after I became allergic to cats. :( Now we have 4 dogs, only 1 of the four doesn't give me allergy issues. None of them are allowed in the bedroom.

I think most happy fun marriages will be able to sub the word cat to most anything else. LOL

Mr. Stitchnripper and I have always been on the same page re: pets. We have had a lot of cats and one dog together. Now we have fish. The Betta is named Bob (compliments of 9 year old grandson). We have the grand puppies with us now but they will be going home tomorrow or Saturday I think. We will miss them except for first thing in the morning when they get us up to go out.
