Creepiest part is when it molted it looked like it had cloned itself.
Chill pets, otherwise.

Anyone with a tarantula for a pet should not be considered to pass the entrance exam!

Dogs have masters...
Cats have staff!
That might explain your feelings!

Dewey Crowe? Is that you, Dewey?
Yep, things were definitely simpler back when we "dug coal together", but then you were always a simpleton.
As a matter of fact, when Boyd shot you in the head, you actually gained IQ points. So, keep on commenting, Dewey. Try to make senses once in a while.

American, especially California, has become a nation of pussies, and by that I don't mean cats.

I have a year old cat, but I figure one of the kids would be happier to be stuck with a cat rather than a dog. I'm sure the cat will outlive me and possibly the XO.

Of course. He couldn't spell the long words like "Buccaneer" (as in "Rectal Buccaneer") or "Commando" (as in "Cornhole Commando") or "Swashbuckler" (as in "Sphincter Swashbuckler") or even "Privateer" (as in "Penile Privateer") so he stuck with something easy.

Parasites are going extinct. Here's why we need to save them
Is it a surprise that today's woke scientists are concerned about saving parasites?

Also the rescues had a big problem with my husband's age, so I was disqualified for most dogs...except of course, pitbulls.
It all worked out.

Easily as difficult to deal with as the initial loss are the constant reminders of her simply going through the daily routines of life. They sneak up on you and don't EVER stop.
Wife doesn't want another dog, naturally I do, so what is to be done here is an elephant in the room.

My husband would have been fine with a dogless life. I would not. He did not dissuade me so I pressed ahead and got this little sweet terrier. He couldn't be happier and old stories about wanting a terrier as a boy suddenly surfaced. Not a day goes by that he doesn't call Bogie "a sweet handsome boy" and pet him and play fetch. Sometimes you don't know when you really miss something.

The wife and I have that discussion often. She doesn't want to get another puppy after Molly is gone. I said it ain't our choice, God gets to decide. If he throws a puppy at us, then that's it, we are getting another puppy.

Another trick you can do with a cat that likes some wrasslin' is to hold a medium sized stuffed animal from the back and poke him with the front end, letting him work on that side keeping hands intact.Posted by: Oldcat at April 10, 2021 05:02 PM (eoQWY)

I share your feelings. And should I outlive my Bogie, I'll be getting a canine senior or two to share my home with me. My husband is nearly 80, and I will need a dog more than ever someday. There is something very reassuring about a furry companion and I my life needs he doggo routine.Posted by: CN at April 10, 2021 05:04 PM (ONvIw)

One of mine gets knots around the neck. Usually age related cleaning issues start at the other end, by the tail. I just cut them out, or you could get him trimmed there to reduce the problem.Posted by: Oldcat at April 10, 2021 05:06 PM (eoQWY)

Took a minute to find you, the shortcut says you're not there any more. I checked the Facebook page to see if there was any update, and saw you guys blogging it up in here. Turns out I had to get rid of www and go to https, and it loads right up.

Gonna have to give you a D- on this one.
Use [ br ] but without the spaces on the inside of the brackets.

We had a good day working outside, dogs supervised. Sarge enjoyed barking and nipping at the mower. Tank got a new kiddie pool, and hung out in it most of the afternoon.
Thank you, Spring!

Once I had a collie pup,
Dug a hole and covered him up.
Now I sit here by the hour
Waiting for my Collie-flower.

Our cats are the epitome of sponges. They lay about all day and then terrorize the property at night.
They're feline Antifa.

-------Problem with cats is, they love to be outside, and also they love to be comfortable. So you figure "I'll make a safe, comfortable, outdoor area."
Nope. Won't work. I speak from experience.
They go outside to satisfy their unslakable bloodlust in the wild, with the added frisson of danger they crave.
When they're in "comfort mode," only the best will do - The Indoors, with its bounty of couches and canned tuna and automatic heat.
A sad half-measure will disappoint the mighty housecat in two ways.

Milady and I are doing mostly all right for our 29(*2.3) years, so we might live another year or a couple of decades.
Ever since our good old Gimli dog left, years ago, we were four cats for a while, until the day I let four cats outside and only three came back, and we've been cruising comfortably with the remaining three since then. No health problems (for the cats, anyway) or costly anything, amen. Feed 'em, pet 'em, clean the catbox, stop Charlie from dragging his kills into the house. Simple and comfortable routines.
The thing about getting another dog is, in our close-to-thirty years back here on the ranch, after multiple dogs and we've-lost-count cats, almost all of them just showed up here, or were rescued abandoned on the road. All the dogs found us.
The last and bestest dog, Gimli, showed up as a just-past-puppy, and when I sent SonM to chase him off, the pup just laid down and rolled on his back; I knew immediately he was ours and SonM got to name him.
If the Lord of Critters sent us another dog, it would be such a wonderful thing… except for the we're getting old thing; and the vet bills; and the food and attention dogs need.
Meanwhile it's always fun to visit daughter and her husband's house, where their two dogs just go crazy like puppies when we visit. Like grandchildren: all the joys, none of the responsibilities except to spoil 'em.
