Senseless Sunday Sarcasm : Dog Cat Insanity
Morning with 3 cats and 6 dogs is more like military maneuvers with live ammunition.
It brings out the (rather crazed) poet in me.
…perhaps there’s a country music hit in this one:
Woke up this morning with a dog on my legs
a cat on my chest and the bed in disarray.
It wasn’t the fact that the dog didn’t care
if I was asleep or the cat was still there.

Please note the slinky cat tail.
He plopped on the cat, who used all his claws
to jump off my chest to a tall chest-of-drawers.
The stupid, D@#$&d dog then stuck out his tongue
I yelled in his ear, “That’s my blood, not your dung!”
Hey, I’ve heard worse country songs before. There’s even a meme for that:
Where is dog number 7 (you might ask)
Gargoyle Dog got through our fence (we still can’t figure out how he did it) and ran after a deer or a car (there were tracks for both) and hasn’t been seen since. I hope that wherever he is he’s loved and fed. I was a mess for days, but that’s not funny so we won’t go into it.
Anyway…now that I’ve wiped my tears away so that I can see…if anyone finds a reddish-brown dog with half his ear bitten off (from a fight well before we saved his starving body) and a face like a gargoyle, please let me know.
Perhaps by now, he’s finished eating the deer, or the car, and he’ll come home.
When It comes to dog behavior, I can tell you that this isn’t always true
Sure, I go on trips for a week or three at a time each year, but I don’t run after cars or deer.
I don’t hog the bed, either. They get half and I get half. If they don’t like it, they can choose from 3 other dog beds.
If I had a couch left, it would look like this:
But a dog ate it.
I’m lucky to have this much space left on the bed
How do I live with that level of insanity?
This keeps me sane:
That’s all I have in me for the day.
Excuse me while I change my bandages.
I appreciate the country lyrics. Back in the day when I had to run a business, I thought of posting a sign when I needed more staff: “Now accepting applications — unless your life in any way resembles a bad country and western song, in which case we are not currently hiring.” But what’s with the blood and bandages? Was that the cat’s fault?

I have scratches all over my body. Being a sarcasm post, the wounds weren’t nearly that bad. I just thought it was a funny way to end the post. 🙂

And we bless every day we share with them. I hope he comes home.

Thanks for your good wishes. It has been noted by people who rescue dogs and cats in my county that the dogs who are reported missing aren’t the ones found. There are some that are found and no one is claiming them. Very sad.

He is so friendly. If someone is giving him love and food, I’ll be happy just knowing that.

I don’t want to make you cry but I’m so sorry that Gargoyle dog went on a trip, but hopefully as you infer it’s to another wonderful home. But never quite as lovely as yours, of course! Your home is a doggy and kitty haven. 😀
