Why is the dog here?

Because the cat is here:)

And yes that is plastic on the couch. It keeps a certain Monster Kitty that shall remain nameless from clawing at it.

AND...

A friend of ours--a sassy, spunky Southern gal who shall also remain nameless--recently broke up with her significant other because he was around too much.  He was 'there when she left and there when she got back'.  We got quite a kick out of this since that's what most folks are looking for in a relationship. Someone that is there. Any-hoo, the HH was leaving for his tutoring gig and told me he'd probably be home around six.  

I said, "I'll probably be here."

And he said, "You're here when I leave and you're here when I get back." 

Two Senior Buds and What's In Your Bathroom Closet?

What's in your bathroom closet?
I opened mine the other day and found this.

Memorial Day and Monster Kitty Tail

 

Monster Kitty Tail #5...(Or Whatever # We're On):
We had a tornado warning in our area last week and while I was busy herding the outside kitties inside, Franky was busy running out.  Sigh.

Us Against Them

I don't know what it's like at your household but here it's us against them, man against beast, survival of the fittest...you get the drift. As previously mentioned, the cat and dog got so bad about getting in the cabinets, including the upper cabinets, we had to have someone come in and magnetize the doors.
The rebellion quelled....Until....
They turned to the pantry. But since we, of course, are smarter than mere animals--cough,cough, hack, hack,choke, choke--we started propping a heavy chair in front of the door.
Problem solved.
Unfortunately, the instigator A.K.A. Monster Kitty convinced the dog to move the chair for him so he could make a foray into the forbidden area where the food--human and animal--is stored.  Since the dog is a bit of a schmuck she fell in with the plan.  This happened several times, till we finally came to the realization there would have to be another outlay of cash to solve the problem. 

We had a dead bolt installed. Done and done. Until......

He turned his attention to my couch.

It's war.

You can see how much being in the Penalty Box bothers Monster Kitty.  He occasionally goes in it voluntarily to take a nap and it's where I frequently find  his ill gotten gains, er, treasurers.

What about your house? Are you dealing with uprisings in your household?
