Oddly, I don't remember that happening. I too agree that a good book is an excellent alternative to many things.

And once this kind of behavior becomes acceptable against one person, no one is safe. That's why I don't watch news or political shows. Sandy is right. A good book is a much better alternative! Good luck with the animals. Cats always seem to boss the dogs around, from what I've seen in friend's homes. Hope you find a solution. (How frustrating!)

All they do is scream at each other, and interrupt. It makes me antsy and aggitated. I'd rather read, thank you! As far as the animals are concerned, we are a family of dysfunctional animals. Five cats and a guinea pig, all the cats but one are freaks. The guinea pig is the sweetest of the bunch! But those sweet doggie faces! They love their momma!
