I know here at CM a lot of people are animal lovers. How about we share some amazing/funny/strange/etc...stories about our pets. I'll start with one that happened just a few minutes ago.
We have one 8 year old cat, one 5 year old greyhound, and one 3 year old greyhound. (the one in my avatar is the 3 year old, she's been with us about 6 months now, the other dog has been with us over a year, and our cat was born in my kitchen)
I live in Massachusetts, so it's not terribly cold yet, but getting chilly. We live near many fields, so the field mice are looking for warm spots (look in your engines everyone, some mice built a nest and chewed up some wires ) anyway........
The cat is the stalker, she will sit in the kitchen and stalk for hours...once she catches a mouse you can tell, you hear her claws slide across the kitchen floor then she does the "I caught a mouse meow"....I say "get the buggy" The older greyhound will come running down the stairs as soon as he hears me say that (he sleeps in my bed) I say "get the buggy" to him...he will wait for the cat to drop the mouse and play with it a bit (of course our cat likes to play with the mouse, not actually kill it) as soon as he gets a clear shot at the mouse, he goes in for the grab!!! I don't think he understands how hard he bites it, because the mouse dies immediately. He carried it into the livingroom tonight and dropped it.
I am the cleaner (yuk!!!) and praiser....first pick up the mouse, go outside and throw in trash, and praise all the animals like they won an olympic medal!!! Even though the younger greyhound was afraid and she stayed away (her first time ever seeing this scene) I give them all pieces of ham as I'm saying good boy, good girl.
Older greyhound after getting his treat goes back upstairs to bed. His job was done...lol...cat still stalking...younger greyhound back on the couch with me watching the World Series.
Who's next? Any kind of pet story........
