Cats vs Dogs

November 8th, 2009

About cats…

I’ve been a “cat person” for as long as I can recall. When I was a child, we generally had 4-5 cats in the house at all times. This was partly due to my parents taking in strays and partly to do with us being so dirt poor that having the animal spayed or neutered was out of the question. It’s not all that hard to have a house full if you end up with 2 pregnant females from your 2 or 3 virile males.

Now the dog side…

Getting it Together…

This is what I need to do…. get it together. Get what together you ask.

My life is the answer.

I’m floundering and I’m in a rut. Here’s my first step to (more…)
