Meology

Dogs, cats and birds can make for a very amusing time around your home. I love all three of these animals, but the newest addition is the dog which hasn't made the cat very happy. My cat's name is "Miss Kitty" and she has got to be the best and funniest cat ever. She acts more like a dog and I truly believe she was a dog in a past life. When she sneezes, it sounds like a bark. And she will play fetch. She likes to play with strands of necklace beads. If you throw them, she will go and pick them up in her mouth and drag them back to you. The new dog is a shih tzu and an inside dog that was given to my daughter for her birthday. We have two dogs that stay outside and I really like to keep it that way. So far, the dog and the cat are not getting along. The cat has resorted to hiding in my room and not coming out. I can only hope they will learn how to get along or the dog will have to go. And then it will be just the cat and the bird again. Unless I get rid of that stupid bird first. I cannot believe that bird is still alive. My daughter was given this bird for her birthday two years ago. She got bored one day and decided it would funny to shove the cat inside the cage with the bird. Lots of commotion there, but I let the bird out the top and all was safe. Exactly what is the life expectancy of a parakeet anyway? I had several parakeets when I was young and I am sure that none of them lived more than about three months in our house. I recall one we had that committed suicide by flying into our piano, which had shelves with mirrors on it. Stupid bird anyway. We used to have to catch him in a brown paper bag if he got loose and that was always fun! My dad had one that he taught to say "hello turkey" whenever someone walked in the door and that crazy bird drank beer. Maybe I should give my bird to my dad. I am tired of cleaning up feathers off the carpet. And the excitement continues.
