Comment from Thesis
Wow, with all the animals you've had, you should have tried to take the farm deduction on your taxes.
As a life long animal lover, you certainly have some great stories on the personalities of your animals.

Comment from adewpearl
You write such damned funny memoir essays - I love the cat who wouldn't use the litter box after just one use. I have always harbored the suspicion that some of my cats were retarded because at least one of them was amazingly smart.
so I know it can't just be attributed to being a cat.
I love the golden lab you pawned off on some unsuspecting person, who in turn pawned it off on someone else. You should do stand up comedy - you are damned funny and always include such great detail. Brooke

This is great, as a pet owner all my life I have many tales to tell and tailwagging friends. I have had aggressive dogs and currently my six cats and one dachshund run my life. This is an enjoyable read and I look forward to reading more about your variety of pets and their personalities.

Comment from vtmom13
First being a pet owner [or should I say, being owned by a few pets myself, this was quite a funny story. I was beginning to wondering if you wrote this as a letter to that English lady who claims to fix dogs by fixing people. Than I realized you weren't being funny, you've had a hard time with your pets.
I like your writing it's clear, and descriptive. You have a nice beginning that hooks the reader. I look forward to reading more about your trouble pet ownership.

Comment from Jazh
hehehe This is great, Beth - as a dog-lover, I really enjoyed it. Actually, I am one of those 'people in the country who can't say 'no'. It flows well and fluently. I found just one spag: "charactristics" - characteristics. Very entertaining. :)

Thank you Jazh, I thought I had already answered this one but I must not have saved it. Thank you for finding the spag. I have changed it. Glad you enjoyed it.

Comment from Louise Michelle
Hi Beth,
What an enjoyable read. So witty. You know what they say. Dogs have owners and cats have a staff.
Is Tiffany a real pet of yours? I'm worried that if she's been made to live outside and is declawed, she has no defenses.

Thank you, Louise, This was written several years ago. Tiffany was my cat but she lived to be a ripe old age and is no longer around.

I laughed out loud as I read this. We also collect psycho animals, including a cat that would only pee in the toaster! This is a well written and thoroughly entertaining story.

Well friend, It was your turn to make me laugh out loud. I can't imagine a cat that only pees in the toaster. That is really hilarious. Thanks for the review.
