Day 1
Puppies or Kittens

"Cute Chihuahua Looking At His Master For 

Some Food" by Stuart Miles

I have always been a puppy person.  I can't say I am always a dog person.  Like today, I was in a store and there was a big dog sitting there.  I wanted to go up and pet him but then he started to look at me.  Once a big dog starts to look at me, I get nervous.  He gets nervous and then the cycle begins.  He keeps looking at me and I just want to get away from him.

Now, most of you know I have two dogs.  I love my dogs.  I stand up to my fairly aggressive chihuahua/basenji mix and she has no problems trying to nip me if I annoy her in any way.  See, when I was a kid I got caught in the middle of a dog fight with my neighbor's dogs.  I was walking one neighbor's two large husky type dogs when we went in front of my other neighbor's house and their German Shepard got loose.  The dogs got into a big fight with me in the middle.  Ever since then I have been afraid of dogs that I don't know.  The funny thing is that I knew all three dogs!  It just scared the bejeezes out of me.

"Kitten Beauty" by Willem Siers

I have never been a kitten person but the funny part about that is kittens love to be all over me!  When I go to people's homes who have cats, the cat always wants to be on my lap.  I have a little allergy to cats but it isn't bad enough to keep away from them.  Once I stayed at my brother's house and his little kitten wanted to stay in the guest room where I was because it was convinced there was something in the radiator. So all night long it stalked the radiator.  It drove me crazy!  There was no convincing this kitten that there was nothing in the radiator!

How to answer this question? I like puppies but both puppies and kittens like me. I am not always too crazy about dogs. 

How do you feel?  Do you like puppies or kittens?  Or both?

Update on finger: it is still a purple color.  Someone has suggested that I may have burst a blood vessel.  Someone else suggested that should stabilize my finger.  Tomorrow I am going to see how it is and call the doc.  If called for I will get an x-ray.

Until tomorrow...
