Getting married. Talking about getting married necessitates talk of having children. Talking about having children causes me to reflect on how I have raised my pets; which then, in turn, makes me think about reasons I should NOT have children.
Yes, this video may seem a little long at 2:25″, but in reality, getting my scaredy-dog to walk passed the cat lying on the floor took ten whole minutes. Ten.
Ten.

the cat seems to delight in subtly torturing poor maisie.

LOL. No…you’d make a GREAT Mom because you actually stuck with it for ten whole minutes. I would have given up long before that!

Awww! That was f’ing adorable!! I LOVE your dog and what a sweetie she/he is. If you have that much love and obvious patience with your doggie (and the cat..lol) then I know you will be a great mom!!
You JUST gotta love cats though. Lol…….intimidating that dog…..soooo funny and then went right back to his spot… presumably to intimidate him if he dared to pass again.
Sorry for the long ass post but DAMN that was cute!

No wonder it took so long.
You kept calling your dog a giant mouse!

HaHa! That was too funny. We have the same problem with two shelties and our little fat cat. She purposefully sits by the door and when they try to leave, she bops them good. Now they won’t come out from behind the big chair! She is evil, but I love her
Thanks for a good chuckle.

That is absolutely hilarious! Wonderful! My dog is totally anti social around other animals, including dogs. Its awful, and she gets mad at us if we have another animal around, but you can’t help loving them, eh?

This video is living proof that you should have TEN kids. I’m with Bev. You stuck it out for 10 minutes with that “come on, baby, come on.” If it had been me, with my real live child, there would have been 11 seconds of that and then 9 minutes and 49 seconds of “IF YOU DON’T GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW, I SWEAR I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT I’LL DO BUT IT WILL PROBABLY INVOLVE VIOLENCE.’
Even with the dog I couldn’t have been that sweet. You have the patience of a saint.

Cats are evil. They make great pets as long as you accept that they’re from the Devil.
I’m sure you have enough patience to be a mom! Then again, your dog wasn’t screaming at the top of her lungs that you were the meanest mommy in the world, that she hated you, that you were mean because the baked cookies and used honey instead of sugar and overcooked them, that it was your fault that the cat wouldn’t move, that she didn’t want to wear the comfortable ugly sandals, she wanted to wear the ankle breaking flip-flops to town….That never happens when you have human kids. Nope, never!

Wow that was hilarious. Cats are evil. I agree. They can’t be trusted. They turn in a second.
And that dog hmmmmm. Well what a cutie but really some back bone is needed for your pooch.
And as for you, you are patient and encouraging. That would go a long way if you had children of your own. And the sense of humor you have would help tons too.

This was great. I don’t care how many upset cats there are. If there’s peanut butter involved, I am making the trek!
I think it’s good to pit children against each other and have them compete for arbitrarily doled out love. it’s what America is all about. Doing otherwise gives aid and comfort to terrorists. Do your part to keep freedom free.
