Mostly lurking...

Happy Birthday, brenda! Hope you have a fabulous day!

When the word "grand-dog" first came out of my mother's mouth, I knew I was in the clear. Not that I was concerned - my mom wasn't the type to pressure on that sort of thing - but still.

Heh. This cracks me up, because my mother absolutely REFUSES to be called the dog/cats Grandma. But, dad INSISTS on being Grandpa. So, they're Grandpa and Kathy, which just must sound so freaking funny to other people when we say it. I mean, it cracks me up.

I am totally a dog mom, though. I catch myself sometimes and think, "Oh, stop that!" But, then, he's so cute. I can't help myself sometimes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, brenda! I hope you get something better than stories about your crazy job that are funnier for people not-there!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, brenda! May the office drama remain amusing and, more important, have no negative consequences for you.

I don't mind the dog mom and cat dad stuff unless the person actually seems to believe that the dog or cat is their actual child. However, I have heard someone casually say-- "Oh, my son had worms, so I had to take him to the vet"-- I get very confused.
