Our 7 Qtpies

Pets are expensive!

Crazy pets. Why do we do this to ourselves? LOL They are almost as bad as kids. Between vet bills, food, "clothing" in the form of collars and leashes, kennels, toys and the crap they destroy, they are nearly as expensive as the kids.
We went and had Cody's dog, Parker, fixed this week, to the tune of over $200. Well worth it, to not have to see a huge, nasty bulge poking out between his legs.




This pic is Parker on the left and Nova on the right by Sam.
Today the cat, who must weight 20lbs at least, stood on the VCR to jump onto the TV. The VCR is a HUGE model with the duel VCR/DVD combo. We are talking 5 inches tall here. It didn't work anymore so we bought a new model, but the new one doesn't plug into our TV or the Satellite dish for some reason that is above my head, so we have to have the new one plugged into the old one, plugged into the satellite dish into the TV. Well, Lexx knocked the old VCR onto the floor and now we can't plug the new one into it, rendering the new one as useless as the old one.

Lexx is a crazy cat. He comes and goes as he pleases. He must be getting food from several families, because I know we don't feed him enough to be as heavy as he is.
He likes to lay on top of us when we sleep. Which isn't too bad when he is being nice, but often he wants to lay across our face or our neck. And heaven forbid the cat is hungry when we are sleeping! He will bite your face to wake you up! We have to warn our house guests.




Stupid pets.

Another very valid reason to not have pets!

If a cat ever bit my face while I was asleep, he would be one DEAD cat very shortly thereafter. I did have one once that kept pulling up on the lid to the CD player of a shelf stereo system until it completely broke it!! I HATED that cat, (along with its owner) and finally kicked them BOTH out!

Art calls our cat "the freeloader" and boots him anytime he gets out of line. Very tragic.
