Well, as usual, I need to put my 2 cents... or more likely $5 in:
I am a huge animal lover... so if I was left to my own devices my house would probably be a regular zoo... but my husband has imposed a 3 cat maximum on me so we have the 3 cats and a 2 year-old 80 lb. golden retriever... so we call it the "petting zoo." All of our pets have human names
There's Barry Johnson (aka Baz, Bazzybear or the Blond Monster), overall a very good, sweet dog but STUBBORN AS HELL and cheeky and way too smart. Loves the kitties, wishes Pam loved him thus he barks at her because she won't give him the time of day, which of course makes the problem worse. He is also OBSESSED with tennis balls... OBSESSED!
I had to take Baz to my mom's house to be babysat in my old miata... people we laughing at me as we drove by.
Hiking in the white tank mountains by my house
At the park across from our house
He also sings
Pamela Stevens (aka Pammy Pam) our cuddle "demander," lone wolf, and dog hater/tolerator (she was 6 when we got him and thus wants NOTHING to do with him)
Fritz Longtailhasen (aka Fritzy Witzy or one of the 'gaymos' as he and Steve are in love... they make out and snuggle ALL THE TIME) I can only speak/sing to him in the most annoying voice you've ever heard because his meow is so weird sounding... and you hear it ALL the time... he shouts at you til he gets what he wants (usually cuddles, but only if you go in from the sides... weird, I know). He and Baz used to be uber-close, til Steve broke them up... they're still friendly though. Fritz has the SOFTEST FUR! It is like a rabbit and a cloud somehow procreated and the result was a bossy kitten.
Steven Wong (aka Stevie, Stevie Love, my muffin, button-bear... [I don't know where I come up with these things] or the other 'gaymo']. Steve was my xmas present from my husband last year (xmas '07)... I had been lobbying for another kitten since Fritz was so young and he kept harassing Pam, so I figured the kittens would play together and leave Pam alone. I was told no, but he surprised me with Stevie. Turns out I was right, Steve is Mr. Popular. EVERYONE loves him and he loves everyone else. He is the resident daredevil, though he is scared of company at the house.
Thanks for "listening." I can go on about the pets for hours (as I'm sure you can tell).
