[quote=Anonymous]I have a cat whose meow sounds like she's a grumpy old New Yorker saying "hel-LO!" and she loves to roll on her back so I can rub her armpits. She looks like 15lbs of cat in a 12-lb catsuit (we adopted her and according to the shelter and her foster home she did a lot of eating her feelings when her previous owner turned her in) and picking her up is like holding a medicine ball. She is a delight.

Growing up we had a standard poodle. He was a total jerk as a youngster (ate my retainer twice, ate my grandma's glasses, would start running and then stop short so you tripped over him) but he would leap over the side of an above-ground pool to swim with us, was my brother's constant companion when he was going through cancer treatment, would go on any walk or beach trip, and was just so sweet and smart and lovable. His greatest joy in life was when my mom would make a pot roast and he could lay in front of the oven and just enjoy the warmth and wafting smell. He died in the midst of an incredibly shitty year for my family (unemployment, cross-state move, hurricanes, cancer, etc.) and a few months later we decided to see Marley and Me while we were visiting my grandmother. She stayed home and when we all walked in sniffling and tear-stained she said "I thought it was supposed to be a comedy!" But it was just a perfect portrayal of life with the best, worst, dog we ever had.[/quote]
