Ethan: How are you feeling today boys? You want to do stuff today or just be lazy?
Francis: I’m feeling kind of snackish…maybe the porch.
Ethan: The other day I asked you and you didn’t want to do ANYTHING.
Francis: Well you always want to go cave diving or bike jumping or book stores! Climb mountainy mountains!
Ethan: I asked if you wanted to go to the park…
Francis: Oh…wheely? Wows…I don’t ‘member that…
Francis: have you seen the news!
Ethan: What did I tell you about watching the news…
Francis: It’s the end of the worlds…there’s no point of snax anymore.
Ethan: Then don’t read the news.
Ethan: Listen, your reason for snax, was made up by guys like me. To sell snax. There’s never been a point to anything.
Francis: You stole that from Adsmen.
Ethan: 1st it’s madmen and yes, because it’s true. The only thing you’re competing with is yourself.
Francis: So I should zoom faster and take more naps?
Ethan: sure:
Ethan: Hey, Francis. What time is it?
Francis: let me check my watch…it’s two hundred and thirty two am.
Ethan: ….
Francis: what?
Ethan: that’s not how you tell time
Francis: That’s what it says!
Ethan: Never mind, it’s fine, I’ll just burn my watches and alarms and phone and finally finish my novels and ….
Francis: Oof, Not before two hundred and thirty two AMS
Ethan: …..
Ethan: Francis, look I’m sorry.
Francis: No! Stay away from me.
Ethan: Here, have some treats.
Francis: What is THIS this isn’t going to change anything.
Ethan: I’m sorry I dropped you in the sink.
I thought I had a better grip. But you MOVED!
Francis: (sighs. looks away.) I’m sorry I bit you. But you did drop me in the sink. You grabbed my bob tail.
Ethan: (whispers) I thought it was a Hemorrhoid or something.
Francis: What! It’s my tail.
Ethan: You’re the one that keeps getting poop stuck.
Francis: I do smell betterz now.
Ethan: uhm,so Francis, I’m sorry I forgot your birthday. I thought you was mad because I adopted another cat…
Simon: It was pretty great when Atticus pooped down your back.
Ethan: Shhh we don’t talk about that…
Francis: Today’s my birthday?
Ethan: Yeah man, we’ve been through a lot together…you want some fish sticks? Maybe some catnip and a ball?
Francis: Im gonna fluff you up! You can’t forget about my birthday! What if I just forgot to wake you up to go to work!
Ethan: I actually have an alarm and an inner alarm…
Francis: This is an outrage! A conspiracy! Sorcery!
Ethan: Do you know,what all of those words mean?
Francis: Plagiarism! I Demand justice!
Ethan: …
Simon: ….
Atticus: …
Ethan: yeah he’s just throwing words around…
Happy Birthday France, thanks for being my friend. I love you buddy.
Francis : So uh, did you have to work yesterday?
Ethan: What kind of stupid question is that?
Francis: I don’t know your schedule!
Ethan: ….
Francis: I know this, I have got to start going to bed earlierz. This staying up till 11pm is not working out so well. I look at the clock and hair balls, it’s 354ams !
I haven’t dried my collar, who’s fault is that!
I’m going to be late to start my olympics!
Ethan: is this the part where you, jump from every corner of the bed….flash from every room….back flip from the window seal? And then sit on my phone so I can’t hear my alarm go off, and cover my nose with your paws so I can’t breathe and wake up?
Francis: well, I mean, if you want to get down to the play by play.
Ethan: …
Francis: yes.
Francis: Oh hey, don’t mind me, I’m just taking my bath…
Ethan: What?
Francis: Yeah just like last time, remember? Remember how that went?
Oh look, no water…
But I’m all clean…
Ethan: I feel like I’m getting threatened, should I call someone?
Francis: Look at this dirt…disgusting… good thing I’m all clean now.
Hello,person!
It’s national Adopt a Shelter Pet Month.
I know I’m a little guy.
But I was a shelter pet.
Left in a ditch.
I love my new pack family
And hunting stuffed Giraffes
So thanks!
for all you do when you adopt a pet.
And remember the seniors like Lester! They are great feet warmers and love just as much as us little guys.
Lester has been with the shelter for 6 years! (That’s like …six and a half of my entire lives)
So remember…
“Adopt don’t shop!”
A long time ago…in a galaxy far far away…
Wait,that’s not the right beginning…at least this time,anyway.
We adopted a dog. A canine. A ferocious beast.
A beagle mix. Simon.
I was nervous but only in the beginning. Now it’s day three or five and I am good.
But it’s because I’ve always been a cat person. And cats are different than dogs. Mostly,because if you have a dog. You are a “dog owner.” If you have a cat…somewhere out in the animal kingdom…your cat is saying; “Well,I just got a person.It took me a few months…but I decided to commit.”
You don’t own a cat… The cat does whatever it wants. You get affection and attention on its terms. Not yours. You don’t train a cat. The cat trains you. You put food out-maybe it eats it.It depends on what mood it’s in.
But a dog.
A dog is completely different. A dog is like a child. You have to take it out. You have to train it. You have to be consistent. A dog is like family.You have a foster family,you have to be approved. You have to spay and neuter.
But
Seriously. I never realized how many animals go into these shelters. It’s ridiculous. Some have almost a thousand a month. Spay and neuter your pets.And if you don’t have a pet but want one? adopt.
Simon is great. He takes his baths.Then digs up cat poop,takes some more baths.Runs himself to death. Sleeps on the sofa and in the bed. I tried to be more firm on the bed thing. But ….
He doesn’t beg for anything. and he’s so smart. I couldn’t say no.
So yeah. We have a dog. Simon.
He sits. He understands “No” well,almost. He is just really fond of L’s scrunchies and shoes….
