I was alone again this weekend. Kim went with her mother to visit Taylor. So I had the house to myself...woohoo....ok ...I had to share the couch with the 2 dogs, but at least they didn't complain about what TV programs I watched. And they only asked me to do something for them twice a day so my movement off the couch was limited.
As you may have seen in one of my earlier posts, we have created quite a collection of animals... 2 dogs, 4 cats, and a bird. Now....You don't realize how much work these animals are and what effect they have on your lives until you plan on spending a quiet weekend alone. But it made me wonder, how did we come to have so many animals?
I am not going to throw my wife and kids under the bus for making this collection of pets so large....no,... I did that in an earlier post and far be it from me to do that again. Instead, I just want to thank them...so here goes. :)
Thank You Taylor....for giving your dog Romeo to us after you started college. He has the most annoying bark that a dog could ever have. The fact that he barks whenever someone comes in the door...and continues to bark throughout the whole visit, even after he runs and hides under the bed...well...That's just a bonus. :)
Thank You Timberly....for bringing home a stray cat and begging us to let you keep him. Elijah is not only the most hated cat amongst the animals in the house. He is also the most meanest cat that we have, And as a bonus...he is also the most chased cat too....Rico goes nuts sometimes for no apparent reason other than to just bully him, I don't know what I would do with that spontaneous irritating commotion. Hmmm , Maybe that explains why he is so mean?
and speaking of Rico...
Thank You Timberly...for giving us your dog Rico after you started college too, he has been just a loving dog....what would I do without him? What would I do without him barking at every car that goes by, or howling at the mail truck even after it has left our house and is three houses down. You know how we just love that beagle howl !! And the bonus here is.... I'm just not sure what I would do without fighting him for bed space at night. Man I just love that. :)
Thank You Kim, for bringing home that cute little flea infested kitten that we named Noah.
"The verbal cat" as we call him...his lovely meows at 4:30 AM is just what the doctor ordered. And the fact that he is the red headed step cat of the family just makes me love him that much more....I mean who could resist those funky looking goat eyes that he has?
And let me also Thank you Timberly for the fancy feline we call Simon, You wanted another cat for your birthday and since your friends mother was giving them away, and we didnt have any money to buy you a birthday present....we went with the present that would give us the biggest bang for our buck.."the free kitten". And want a bang he has given us. We are so very fortunate that he is the only cat that doesnt go outside....ever. (its no wonder he is the fattest cat too)
And since he has the longest hair of all the cats...it easy to tell whos hair is on any of my black clothes. So , thank you to Kim for also for keeping the endless supply lint rollers that we have on hand at all times. What would we do without them?
and finally....Thank you Kim for picking up little baby Tim-Tim out of the box at K-Mart and begging me to let you take him home with us. You knew I couldnt say no in front of everyone who was there adoring the lil baby kittens. Who can resist a scared little kitten face? That was a really good move to get what you wanted. :)
And you know how he gives me that annoying little nudge in the face when I am just starting to fall asleep every night?....well...who could live life without having that?
Did I miss any thank yous? Oh yeah...
Thank you Taylor for letting us permanently watch your bird, it took me 3 months before he would even come close to me...and now I cant get him off from me. I mean...if I would have known that he required all of my attention....every hour until 10pm....every minute....every second...well...I would have asked you to let us have him along time ago. And the bonus is...if you fall asleep with your laptop open on your lap....you wake up with a button less keyboard.....priceless !!
So that wraps up my Thank you's for the day...
See and you guys probably thought I was going to throw them all under the bus. :)

this post is sarcastically halarious - I'm seriously cracking up at my desk... and picturing all those animals "alone" for the weekend.
Thanks for sending Chico back to Taylor's for a bit, btw. I've been crossing my fingers for a button-less keyboard for weeks now.
BAHAHAHAHAHA - omg. the best part of this post is how humbly TRUE it is!
I guess I should add a "Thank you Dad, for letting mom take care of the animals while you snuggle Rico on the couch, and feed my bird foods like BUTTER and COFFEE... what would we do without your love and support?"
