I wanted to take a nap this evening when I got home, but Certain Dogs wouldn't allow it. They found something to bark at. I hollered at them, and they subsided for a moment, then went back to barking. Maui is a nice, quiet dog except when she is in the company of Gizmo the Rowdy. Unfortunately. since DD#2 went away to school, Maui is always in the company of Gizmo the Rowdy. Maui is easily led. Who or what they thought was in the back yard I do not know, and I do not care. I do care that they woke me up three times and my throat is sore from yelling, "Enough!"

Not only that, but they smell like dogs. I have never met a dog that did not, upon close examination, smell like a dog.

Cats are better than dogs.

Hell, ferrets are beter than dogs, and ferrets poop in the corners and steal things.
