Cat V Dogs III: Presumably, the end

I wasn't going to do another post on Cats v Dogs, but today I had some odd experiences with the animals around here.

I bought my cats some collars, since Clarence keeps trying to get outside (and succeeding) and Pentelope will follow her anywhere. Of course, niether cat wanted to wear them, and fought me. Pentelope made a pretty juicy scratch on my right foot. End result, they are still trying to get them off.

The dog, OTOH, walks around jingling her collar in your face. When you take her outside, she stands there calmly wiating for you to clip the leash on her. And even if you stick your hand in her mouth or take food away as she eats it, the dog will not bite or scratch.

Yet, if H and I are play wrestling the dog will bark at us like crazy, and try to break us up. It's actually pretty funny. And if the dog wants us to feel bad about something, she hangs her head all sadly and stares at us with that devastated look.

The cats cannot be bothered, and have punished me for daring to put collars on them by peeing on out bed. They haven't done that in months...so I guess they're pretty pissed...hey, that's punny!

The end result is that if my cats ever do get out and I can't find them, I can look for the flashing red hearts on the collars. And if anyone else finds my cats, they can look in the metal tube also on the collars and pull out a paper with my name and address. Keen, no?

Another List of Things which are Good:

In the interest of focusing on the positive (yet again) here is still another list of things that make me a happy Wednes:

Having a day off work.

The flashing hearts on my cats' new collars.

Halloween rapidly approaching.

Playing the theremin I borrowed from mmrcrankypants which is way nicer than mine.

Chilly weather outside, my fave!

The milk chocolate pastilles we sell at the Madstone.

The mere possibility of hooking up tonight.

So many pointless lists, people will confuse me with Entertainment Weekly:

Stuff that happened today:

--Colored hair Garnier Plum. Very nice.
--Got hooked up. *exhale*

--Day 2 of "make cats wear collars" continues successfully.
