i think they heart their dog more than i heart my cat
this morning at the vet i walked in and there were three women.
one was at the counter bringing in her pretty gray tabby for a bath. then she left.
a short one was standing next to a taller one, who was holding a very small dog. the dog was trembling slightly and wearing a little coat.
when the woman came from the back to take the little coat wearing trembling dog, the tall one said, can she be put with the cats. dogs freak her out and upset her. and cats love her. she's great with cats. the woman from the back said ok.
then they commenced to discussing the little dog. she is tired and she is old. will cleaning her teeth put her under much longer? i'm worried. "oh roxy," both the tall one and the short one said, "come through this ok! we love you!" and then one of them said, oh, she's been giving out kisses for free all day. we had a party last night. it was a party for her! all of her friends were there! the short woman gazed deeply at the very small dog and i had to look away.

I think I have a disturbingly deep love for my little dog, too. But then again, back when I only had cats, I was pretty deeply attached to them, too. I guess I'm just crazy that way!
