We have one dog (a female boxer, Gracie) and two cats (both boys, sort of, Yugie & Schezi). There are many days that I wonder why we have pets at all. Those are the days that I just finished vacuuming and I look down to see clumps of cat hair on the carpet. Or I’m wearing a black shirt (which is most days) and notice that I have dog hair all over it after Gracie, who’s 40 pounds, tried to be a lap dog. But then in the middle of the night when my feet are cold and I’m too tired to do anything about it, my furry friend Schezi curls up on my feet and warms them up. As if he somehow knew. And then I remember why we have pets. Plus, they are cute and pretty good entertainment if you get out a laser light or flashlight and watch them try to catch it and eat it.
