Part of the Fun

Companion animals - never a dull moment.

Walking through my living room

I step on rubber squeakers 

And in the yard I often find

Excrement on my sneakers

Kibble bits and flying fur

And many things more vile

Like wet hairballs and slobbered socks

And half-chewed food with bile

I know they don't mean any harm...

I truly do believe that

Just part of the fun of living 

With a dog and with a cat

Some days are just ickier than others.

ah yes, the joys of animaldom. my friends with children often tell me about their icky moments and i'm reminded of how not too different we are in that regard lol. at least with children pee and poop cleanup duties only last a short while!

[Rita L. Sev]

So true! I always laugh when there is a mess like this, though - I wouldn't change my fur-babies for the world!

A dog to adore you
And a cat to ignore you....
LOL
Makes you a well-rounded individual.
A bit messy...but well-rounded.

I can't say it entices me to run out and get another pet right now, but it was fun! ha

[Rita L. Sev]

Haha! No, this is definitely not an advertisement!

[Frieda P]

Lol, I definitely wouldn't post it outside of adopt-a-pet...my pleasure!

and some change diapers too.. chuckling here. Children come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and colors of fur.

[Rita L. Sev]

My children have always been furbabies, and though I know these are the consequences, I keep adopting. :) Thanks, Chris.
