I was so drunk tired last night that I forgot to do a roundup of Friday Pet Blogging...
Victor has a "scene" that could easily be me and my friends. Yes, it's Friday Rat Blogging...
Jeff at Athenamama is Friday Dog Blogging and Cat Blogging.
And I'm way more than a day late reporting that Mickey has the Dog Carnival up.
And further and... Mog has her Friday Cat Blogging up.
You folks might not know this but while I only put up posts here 2-3 times a week, they are the most enjoyable ones I do. I calm down from the noise I create on my other blog.
Check out these posts because these fine pet lovers feel the same way. I come home after a hard day at work and my feline friends rush to greet me. So do your dogs, hamsters, and everyone else on four legs. Okay, two for the proud bird owners.
The affection I get from them suddenly makes everything "all right" again and I derive great pleasure from -- yes, really! -- cleaning the litter box, changing their water, and feeding them. And after they eat, they always stop by me as I sprawl on the couch to lick-their-chops or just brush against me to thank me. I get that NOWHERE ELSE in my life. Then, they lounge about on the rug by the couch and start cleaning themselves, or just watching TV with me.
There is a Karma that only your loving pets give you. It is a wonderfully relaxing thing and for the life of me, I just don't understand non-pet owners because to me they -- to use a phrase I actually hate, -- they "just don't get it" and probably never will.
I'll never have kids but I (and most of the folks I hang with) don't either. They prefer the company of pets.
Even when they hog the bed at night.
Give your pets a hug and kiss tonight.
And thanks for stopping by! I'll see you soon...
Well said... my cats are my children as i was never fortunate enough to have any human ones...

Okay, so the cat hops up in my lap to wash his face and then go to sleep...

I do love my pets though. I feel just as you do, Jeff. I ENJOY caring for them, and looking after them. They give back so much more than I could ever repay.
