Does this look like the face of a killer to you?On second thought, don't answer that. Her eyes do look a little cold.
Her name is Ariel, as in the Little Mermaid.
We've had her since she was a puppy, about 7 years now.
I have conflicting emotions regarding this girl.
On one hand I am grateful for the protection and sense of
security she has given our family.
On the other hand I want to wring her neck!!!
She has eaten trees, bushes, tomato plants, flowers, and electrical lines.
She turned the yard of our last home into a hole-filled land mine.
She was trying to save us from the gophers that had tunneled through the underground of our backyard like so much swiss cheese.
On occasion she has been known to snuff out the life candle of warm and cold- blooded unfortunates that unluckily crossed her path.
Snakes, lizards, rats, birds, and cats.
Yes cats.
We hate cats around here. Lots of allergic people live in these here parts.
So you see, we have no room for compassion because all the boxes
of tissue and allergy medicine are taking up the space
where compassion would normally go.
As much as we hate live cats, we hate cleaning up dead cats.
Last weekend we had a seemingly happy event occur. The house next door that has been empty for 8 months was bought by a cute young couple.
I was so excited to meet them. As I visited with the wife over the back fence (never done that before--felt a little weird) we watched their playful dog
romp in their backyard.
"Oh good. Dog people," I thought to myself.
Then I saw IT!!!
A cat.
In the window.
"Oh, you have cats?" I asked.
"Yes, two of them," she said. "But they are strictly indoor cats," she quickly added. "They've never even been outside before."
"I hope they don't come over here if they do accidentally get out.
Our dog does not like cats."
How could I tell her during our very first conversation that our dog
has killed cats before?
One of the cats has decided to sit daily in the window of
their upstairs window, taunting our dog.
"Meow. You can't, meow, get me. HeeMeowHee!"
Spawn of Beelzebub.
Please don't ever get out of your house.
We want to be friends with our new neighbors.

yeah that wouldn't be good if their cats accidenly got out! Our dog to has a thing with cats and birds. Once we caught her using a cat as a chew toy and I yelled for her to stop luckily she did and the poor cat took a few minutes to get just enough energy to jump back over the wall. We have no idea if it was a stray or someones or even if it survivied!
That picture of the cat is hilarious. I can picture it saying "nanny nanny booboo you can't get me"
