haha!! Oh yeah, that's right - Grumpy Cat's supposed to just be a 'stage name', is that right? For all the celebrity gigs that Grumpy has to do, like sponsorship commercials and what have you
Looks like Grumpy's behind the wheel ... again ...
Grumpy didn't seem too happy to possibly be getting confused for a football in that pic lol - or with a name like Tardar Sauce in real life, maybe Grumpy's at heart a Dolphins fan? Are there any other football teams with seafood names?
Am so worried about the Hemingway cats! Have heard that authorities are especially worried about people in the Keys, because they'll be first hit - have CNN going on in the background right now, and it looks like the wind's already blowing the leaves of the palm trees sideways ... and the hurricane hasn't even hit yet
Really hope everybody else was able to get out and get to safety ...
We had two pets growing up - a westie dog named Snowy
and a shelter cat named Sam
. Snowy was a real ham, who was very social with people and pets - he loved to spend hours in the backyard, flirting with the girl dog across the street
While Sam was much more shy and more of a homebody, and really loved to cuddle.
They're both in pet heaven now, hopefully having a lovely time, eating lots of wonderful people food
Guess it's easy to get new pets - Daniel Negreanu apparently just lost his doggie a couple of months ago and has already gotten two new ones ... guess maybe i tend to get very attached to pets, so would like to get another pet at some point, but no plans just now ...
Growing up, my neighborhood didn't seem to have a ton of kids around who were younger than me, so there weren't too many babysitting opportunities - but when was around 12 or 13 and too young to get a real job at The Gap, starting pet-sitting for a couple of people on the street while they were away on vacation. And after that, guess word got out that was doing pet-sitting, so it seemed like we had like this steady stream of pets coming to stay at our home for the next good couple of years? Which was wonderful!!
Kind of a neat thing about pets that maybe you might find interesting, since Sven was with a pet-sitter for a while - guess at times it can seem like pets will be friendly with whoever's filling their dish ... but when it came time for people to come pick up their pets, they definitely knew the difference between being at a pet-sitter's house for a week or two, and being able to go back home and with their family
Guess all pets have very loving hearts, but they do seem to have the capacity to bond and form very deep attachments - guess maybe that's why so many people wind up feeling like their pets are members of their family in return? We used to celebrate our pets' birthdays, and give them presents at Christmas, and all that - one time our cat even unwrapped his all by himself! It had catnip, so guess that kind of tipped him off, but still ...
Pets sure are lovely
