I have often thought how great a pet's life is. Lie around all day, food magically appears...

I used to give Domino a speech to this effect when he'd walk around whining for no readily apparent reason, "I don't feel bad for you! You sleep sixteen hours a day and don't pay rent!...etc." He took it pretty well. Maybe he just needed a little perspective.

Wooot, Steph!!!

My dogs are tiiiirrrred. We've been walking around Seattle all day which has been beautiful and awesome but I don't have great walking a ton of miles shoes right now and my feet hurt! But we are meeting up with meara for dinner soon!!! So I can take a little foot pain. May talk Bob into taking a cab back from dinner though.

Somebody should tell that to the cat that's been hiding between the wall and my rolltop desk since 8 a.m. Poor little thing, I wish I had some way to soothe him so he'd feel safe enough to come out.

It took me a moment to suss that you weren't talking about actual dogs. Who would probably also be tiiirred after all that.

I was actually wondering whether cabbies would have a problem with dogs in the cab...

Aw. Put some food and water somewhere accessible and pretend he's not there, would be my suggestion. Poor little dude.

Brenda, here's the cat version. [link]

Yeah, if you aren't up moving around the cat will be less freaked.

I totally thought lisah was talking about actual dogs and was trying to figure out how she'd gotten dogs to Chicago. Though I think she only has one dog.

Yeah, modulated tones, no approaching, and food were gonna be my recs as well.
