Those were the days...

Ah, the meter-reader guy is here, & I no longer have a Pet Semetary extra with which to menace him. Awww, Heidi, these are the days I miss you extra-much! That dude was terrified of her--it was hilarious; he's all burly & manly-looking & yet he would run through the yard...from a blind, rickety 22-year-old Siamese. The FedEx guy, on the other ( Read more... )

I got a letter from the gas company asking me politely if I could put my dog away on the day that the meter reader man comes.

You should have SEEN the first time he tried to come in the yard with my doberman watching. Doom (perfect name, hmm) didn't even have to run, he just growled menacingly. VERY MENACINGLY.

So now I have a set day that the meter reader man comes just so I know not to leave the dog out in the yard. *giggle*

LOL! Doom.

She actually was a Demon Cat back in her heyday: I always liked her "bait n switch" game...oh, pet me, I'm a cute little harmless--- CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP. She was legend in the Barker Family. By the time the meter-reader came around, she'd sweetened up a lot. I often wondered, though, if she achieved her great age by eating the neighbourhood children.

ROFL. What a wonderful glowering face!!

She's also one of those kitties who takes "No, I'm sewing" as "Yes, please crawl up my chest and love me until I can't stand it anymore." XD she creeps up and refuses to be pushed away or startled by anything, and handles the german shepard and the two year old with patience that my lovely rowen doesn't possess.

it's also ironic that my rather evil kitty rowen is so sweet looking.

I miss Heidi too. The stories. The horrified delivery folk.

It may comfort you to know that Jake accepts most delivery people, but growls something fierce at the box-throwing mailman.

Fi will just have to learn to appreciate the fine art of terrifying guests.
