At least I think so. I had a cat dying and a newborn child once at the same time and the cat was a TON more work than the newborn. My mom got puppies when we had our first baby and she had WAY more work than our baby... but; pets do not grow up and rebel on you... or do they?<BR/><BR/>I am happy for your united family again!Jaime Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603214394274811905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10040080.post-1121124912448064072005-07-11T18:35:00.000-05:002005-07-11T18:35:00.000-05:00That's love . . . actually!That's love . . . actually!Grandma and Grandpa Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14866315322069413362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10040080.post-1120916363283017282005-07-09T08:39:00.000-05:002005-07-09T08:39:00.000-05:00I like cats, but I sure am glad I don't have any a...I like cats, but I sure am glad I don't have any after reading this. I would have let the poor thing sit there in pain until the object either passed through or the cat fell over. Heartless people like me don't deserve cats.<BR/><BR/>I also heard they need to be fed EVERY day and don't like being ignored for weeks on end.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, congrats on Ruby's success with life, liberty, and baldness!davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327429246134973588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10040080.post-1120879769565528722005-07-08T22:29:00.000-05:002005-07-08T22:29:00.000-05:00Yeah, I'd say taking care of Hudson and Percy is p...Yeah, I'd say taking care of Hudson and Percy is probably rather like being the parent of quintuplets with ADHD who have unlimited access to Laffy Taffy.

Those dogs are crazy. Good crazy.<BR/>Gloria, thanks for thinking of my cats. :) Funny about your cats fighting.

They got used to each other eventually - but they never groomed each other or did other loving cat things. So I was surprised that after 11 years of living like the odd couple that Herman would show such severe signs of missing Asha. He lost weight and began pulling out his hair - poor baby. He seems to be doing better now. I'm glad to hear that things turned out well for your nice kitty. I was actually thinking about your cats today. I'm glad you gave the update! :)gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14622465031577634442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10040080.post-1120846491978394732005-07-08T13:14:00.000-05:002005-07-08T13:14:00.000-05:00Like kids -- I know what you mean -- not at all, I...Like kids -- I know what you mean -- not at all, I'm sure, but I'm getting the analogy HARDCORE right now, and the question of whether I have the capacity to survive fatherhood has been raised....jeffmacsimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682063385589429935noreply@blogger.com
