I’m taking care of a friend’s two dogs this week while they’re on vacation. They’re so happy and excited when I show up, knowing they’ll be fed and petted and they’re so grateful for these simple acts. No wonder dogs are popular — they’re everything good humans should be. Happy to be alive, simple in their needs and grateful to have someone to love and be loved in return.

For me it would be cats ! What can be better than food , warmth and lying around alternating with very vigorous exercise ?

Hey Caitlin, great to see you come around!!

You were really upset there for a while. (So was I)

Yes, we need to be joyful and maintain inner peace and prioritize on the things within our control.

I miss any or all my old dogs. Cats also - but not as much.

The dogs were handy, I could pet them and in nice loving tone and blame them for anything.

"Buddy, what a bad dog, it is raining outside, yes, bad doggy"

He had such a big heart he would roll on his back or side and I could blame his belly, all the blame in the world he would stand if seems.

May last cat liked my son's RC truck with beads dangling around the sides and a Cat-Nip mouse secured to roof and drive it around the living room with him stalking and attacking and falling over - then I would run-over his tail and bump his bottom. Someone had to do it.

When I moved here I could have had a cat, and thought about it for a while, but as I liked not having a woman or cat or dog to windup and worry about, I have not got one (6 years), but I could have - say 10% chance, and with the MultiWorlds I figure in 10% of those worlds and lives I have a cat.

So I have a 10% Quantum Cat, and the way some cats can travel between the worlds at will (have you ever closed a cat in room and found his later somewhere?) I considered I might need a cat-box because I do not want any 10% Quantum cat-poo on my floor fading in and out - stinking in-and-out.

Don't you hate that?

God Bless., Steve
