Most definitely.

Occasionally, she'll hop up on the back of the couch ( when Jake is behind it ) and start thwapping him on the head.

My two critters provide me HOURS of entertainment.bigsmile

1 dog. 1 cat.

Funniest thing I have ever seen was when the dog caught the cat eating from his bowl.

I was standing at the stove ( the dog's bowl is right behind me ) and I could hear Mongo ( the cat ) crunching away. Jake ( the dog ) also hears this and from the corner of my eye I see him peeking around the refrigerator. I look over toward him, and he looked up at me, looked back at the cat, looked at me again, and kinda stepped around the corner.

I pretty much knew something was gonna happen. I figured maybe he'd go over and growl at the cat or something. But no. Jake walks up behind the cat, takes one of his big old paws, and blasts Mongo on the back of the head, face first into the dog food bowl.

Of course, at this point, I am pretty much in tears because I was laughing so hard.

The best part was, about 2 hours later, Jake is lying on the floor minding his own business when Mongo walks by and just stopped in her tracks. She looked at Jake and got this " Oh YEAH...that was YOU " look on her face and she jumped on his head and started chewing on his ear.

Jake didn't even flinch. He just lay there looking at me as if saying " Dude. Are you seeing this?? Are you gonna do anything??? "

Of course, again, I was just about pissing myself from laughing.

To this day ( two years later ) every once in a while Mongo will have a flashback about that incident and take it into her head that chewing on the dog would be a good idea.

Yes my cat Lulu even had a boyfriend, Lucifa (don't ask?? I know ...what a name)!!! But Lulu and lucifa were always togehter and she would sneak him in to curl up for a nap. :heart: Alas Lucifa passed away some time ago...

Now she has to compete with Swiper and magic, neighbours cats.

My dog Koko... a pretty darn smart black lab mix mutt

... when she needs to go outside, she will come over to my chair and repeatedly bump me with her nose. Or, is I am in bed sleeping, she'll come in, stand by the bed, and flap her head side to side which makes her ears flap against her head, which is loud as hell. When it is midnight quiet in the house, this has scared the hell out of me more than once... but it is an effective human-waker-upper.

... if she's hungry, and its near to meal time, and I am sitting in the living room eating something crunchy like potato chips or Doritos, she will sit on the edge of her bed with her ears perked up, and she'll "talk" to me, like... "rumpf roow roo"... and "roo rawr roo"... sometimes I have to be Dr. Doolittle to understand what this dog wants, LOL.

... if I reach down to pet her, and rub my hand back and forth on her ribs, she rolls onto her back and curls up her lip on one side of her mouth so you can see most of her teeth on one side. I figure that's sort of like a smile, it sure would be one on a human. She's probably gigglesnorting because she has me trained so well to pet her. LOL.

... I just have to nominate her for the Guiness Book of World Dog Records... I have had this dog for 13 years, and for one, she has never once been sick and needed to be taken to the vet, and for two, she has never ever even once gone potty inside the house. I think the potty part is truly a World Record. Especially since she was an abandoned stray pregnant with puppies when I first saw her 13 years ago. Some dumbass discarded a million-dollar dog. We let her have the puppies, found the puppies good homes, had her spayed, and I've had one hell of a companion for 13 years.

... if she was rather relaxed on her bed, and I call her over to lay on the couch with me, she will roll her eyes up, as if to say "what---are you kidding?" But will eventually comply, and when she does, she will lay with her head close to me and she'll give this pitiful moan, like a "oh, I was so comfortable" moan. "Owwww, rawr, hmmmmmm" sort of a whine with a notion of relaxation. In those times, she will be out like a light in just a few minutes, and be sleeping in a doggie dream, where her entire body twitches from the activity. Her paws will be a-movin' anmd sometimes she gives out this little puppy-like bark when she sleeps. It is hilarious. Oh... and when she's totally gone, she snores. Yup. Like really loud like grandpa kind of snoring, too!

I have no idea what her real birthday is, so we both celebrate our birthdays on my human birthday. She showed up at my house in 1996 after being abandoned on the dirt mountain road I lived along. That was 12 years ago, and I figure she was about a year or a year and a half when she came by, abandoned and loaded with pups. I have no idea where she came from, except that I am sure she was dropped off by some dumbass who thought a dog with puppies was something they couldn't deal with. We had other dogs at the time, so there was food and water outside, and she just came and made herself at home. When we noticed how much of a sweet dog she was, she won our hearts, and after my divorce in 2002, she became an entity of my life that helped me struggle through some very tough times. I am determined to never put her to sleep, ever, no matter how bad of a medical condition she might develop in her older years. She has been 100% perfectly healthy all her life, and such a great companion, I will never kill her. God is going to have to do it naturally for this one. He is going to have to come and take the life breath out of her, because as she has stood by my side all these years, I will stand by her to the very end no matter how her life decides to go at the end. I might have to clean up lot's of messes, who knows, but I'm going to let her age gracefully, and enjoy every second with this animal that God will give me. There is no way some vet is going to pump her full of an overdose and put her to sleep. And when she is gone, I may even get her a little grave stone after I dig the hole with my own hands, and lay her to rest. I don't look forward to that day, but we will go through it gracefully, as we have through everything else in life for the last many years.

To my Koko....

Well I live on an alpaca farm and besides them two dogs, rabbits, and 5 cats (one is a stray that showed up.) I guess you could safely say Im an animal lover and a man who dislikes animals would probably not want to be around me. happy

What I love about it is that I don't have to worry about Jake actually hurting Mongo.

He has never snapped at her or even growled at her.

The worst he does is, sometimes, for a week or so, he'll chase her into the bathroom every time he sees her. I'll let it go for a while, but then I'll tell him to leave the cat alone and he'll stop chasing her again.

The last time I had pets, I had 3 cats and a dog.
The dog weighed 7 pounds, the smallest cat weighed in at 18 lbs. That poor dog didn't stand a chance laugh
