Pets

Last night when I got home from work (about 12:38am), I saw a dog sitting in the driveway staring at me. I hesitated to for a moment deciding on whether or not to get out of the car when I realized... OH MY GOD THAT'S OUR DOG!! Our gate had seen it's last day, and the dog can no longer be contained. Ugh. As if this dog wasn't a nightmare aready.

I have mixed emotions about our pets. We have two cats and a dog, and they're all pretty darn cute... but they are a pain in the ass.

Peeve. She was my first so naturally she's my favorite. I rescued her from an animal shelter which was very hard to do, but I really wanted a cat, and when I saw her for the first time crammed in a cage with other black kittens all begging for attention, I had to have her. She's mean and hisses at people and doesn't like to be held, but she's mine. She sleeps under my arm every night, and follows me around the house always resting wherever I am. What is her problem? She pees EVERYWHERE. UGH!

Nibbler. She found us. I wasn't crazy about getting another cat at ALL, but when we took her to vet and discovered that she had no chip in her and was obviously abandoned, we had no other choice but to keep her. What is her problem? She is NOT social, and like Peeve, she pees EVERYWHERE. She also likes to drag things around the house (mostly articles of clothing left on the ground) and she vomits alot.

Maple. I did NOT want a dog. When we brought her home she kinda grew on me, but that was before she ate my favorite shoes, peed all over the bed, and tore up my plants in the backyard. Everyone said she would grow out of it, and she did stop peeing everywhere, but she STILL eats my roses, patio chairs, exercise bike, headphones, socks, and any wedding project item that I leave anywhere. To my horror she is still sleeping on the bed, so I wake up covered in dog hair every morning, AND she barks non stop if she is outside. I can't swim with her because she gets agressive and scratches the hell out of me, and I can't trust her to be alone anywhere. Not even outside. She digs through our trashcans, and she has learned to open the lids on our new trashcans as well. Do I wish we never had a dog? All the time. But last night when I came home and saw her sitting the the driveway I lost it. I would be devastated if anything happened to her. I guess that means I love her, even though she is the worst dog I have ever known.
