Butter sticks and Messy Paws

Today was an unremarkable day like any other. Apart from having myself featured in CHUNK.ie (Yippee!) and experiencing the aftermath of my dog eating an entire stick of butter. INCLUDING the foil it was wrapped in. Now I enjoy butter as much as the next mammal, but I don't pull a golem and hog the hole stick to myself like it's my precious.

Which brings me to the topic of this blog post. The merits of cats and dogs. I mean.. don't get me wrong, I do love dogs! But there's just something very unappealing of discovering a dog has eaten it's own poop, and then insists on giving you all the kisses in the world. ''Get thy faeces breath away from me!!'' Is generally all I can think of. Plus the fact that if it wasn't for my ever loving boyfriend, I would most definitely end up as one of those crazy cat ladies you here about. Possibly even a living replica of that cat lady in the Simpsons!

I do absolutely adore having a dog! With his puppy dog eyes, his unconditional love and affection. Plus the constant tale wagging whenever I say his name or I arrive home. It's enough to make even the Witch of Narnia's heart melt! Where as with cats, they either don't care or notice you've been gone for 8 hours straight, and act all cute and cuddly only when they want food.. or have done something. Usually it's the food though. But let's be honest, when those puddy-tats use their mind control with those big adorable eyes of theirs, you'll be all to happy to feed them. Even if it's yourself! Seeing as it's been a widely controversial fact that if you die, a cat will eat your corpse while a dog will just lie beside you. Eeeeeshhh... I'd rather remain blissfully unaware of the fact my baby boo, Tibbles, would go all pacman on my cold ass!

Now I guess onto the expectations and the reality of having a pet! Most of us poor poor individuals believe that our pets will somehow get us internet fame... well you'd be wrong! Cats tend to look at us as the town fool against their high and mightiness, and would rather have a bath than do something ridiculously stupid if we were actively there filming it. I have to admit though.. the cat bath vines are rather funny! And then with dogs, you'll have the dog doing something completely idiotic, and by the time you've revived yourself from passing out with laughter, you would have missed the filming opportunity by a landslide! So I hate to tell you but, your pet is not going to get you that fame in which you so crave. Believe me, I have tried!

Now that I've finished my little rant, I believe it's time for me to watch cat vines and look at cats and cheeseburgers photos! Adios!
