I'm having the worst allergy attack ever! These last few days I've been staying, thanks to a friend, at a Cat Hotel. It's really a home for cats and one really old dog. The dog is so old they can't bathe it for fear the weight of the water will crumble it's weak bones. Poor thing. So she has a very strong odor. The cats seem clean, but there is fur everywhere including my lungs. Still, they are sweet kitties. Much better than sleeping in the dog kennel I'm been crashing in, where I am hated by the little barking terriers. They bark nonstop. Seriously, who wants little tiny nervous dogs barking all the time? I'm not a pet person anymore. I think fish are the better way to go, but then only as a screensaver or a fishstick. I'm still rather fond of sea-monkeys as a pet, or better yet, a Penthouse Pet!
