My husband and I live out in the country. We love our house. It is a rough finished cedar house with a porch all the way around. Each spring some wandering mommy cat has her litter under the porch and we get to watch them play and grow. We feed them (duh) and find them all good homes....we.....sorta all of them. Each year there has been one left over kitty. So now we have 5 inside cats. Yes, five of them.
This year we got a puppy who spends his days outside and nights inside. That has put a stop to stray cats under the porch as they are afraid of the dog.
Several weeks ago I had just about had it with cat hair on my pillow, cat hair on the bed, cat hair in the sink. I blew up when i saw one of them rubbing on my toothbrush!!! So I laid down the law of the land. FROM THIS DAY FORWARD NO CAT SHALL CROSS THE THRESHOLD INTO THE BEDROOM!!! And so I rest, hairless on the bed, use a hairless sink, can actually get dressed withoug becoming covered in cat hair.
The dog typically sleeps on the floor of the bathroom. Last night, for some odd reason, he seemed to think the bed was just made for him. So he jumped up in bed with us. We promptly dumped him on the floor and after much huffing and puffing on his part, he went to his usual place in the bathroom and settled down. (fast forward to early this morning) Picture this: I'm asleep in bed, I'm slowing waking up and it's before the alarm, I am thinking what a wonderful hubby i have and how much i love him, i reach my arm over and hug him and snuggle up next to him........then i wonder.........he sure is rather...er....um.....hairy this morning. WAIT ONE COTTON PICKING MINUTE, THAT'S NOT MY HUSBAND, THAT'S THE DOG!!! And was he ever pleased with himself. He had snuck back sometime during the night, gotten between us and was laying on his back, with his front legs over his head, and his back legs out. Good think I didn't kiss him!! ewwwww
Anyway, it was pretty funny.
