"And that reminds me of a story that's so dirty I'm ashamed to think of it myself."
Hmmm, I guess that's simply an indication of how different minds works. Didn't even cross my mind until you mentioned it. Not that I'm any kind of angel, I'm just happy that my dog and those I care about are excited to see me come home. Reminded me of the way my small children would get excited and run up and jump up for me to give them a hug when I came home from work or where ever. YMMV (I guess)
My cat watches/listens for me at the front window and runs to the door to meet me and tell me everything that happened while I was gone. Trouble is I dont talk cat so have no idea what hes saying. Dogs are too high maintenance to me...have to walk them and take them out to piss/poop, NOISY, and destroy stuff. Cat is fine with just enough food and water left out..even for days.
Dogs and blondes. <Sigh> I'm just too dumb to learn to stay away from things that are gonna cost me a lot of time, money and effort...then sh*t on either me or my floor in the end.
