Last night I dreamed that I had a white kitten. It was one of those hyper vivid dreams. Been thinking about it all day but no more animals. Not happening.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Oh man, Kat. No. I would say if another dog is ever on the horizon, a nice easy 3 year old might be the way.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The Biscuit was two and house-trained by the time we got him. And so grateful and apologetic when he got back to health that he was, like, the best behaved dog ever. He's gotten over that bit, but still, I think I am so not prepared for any other dog at all, let alone a puppy.
But I do sometimes think about getting him his own dog. He's very social and I think he would like that, but I also think it would wear him out. And also I probably can't do twenty-four hour drives with two dogs in the car. Yeah, this is a bad plan.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have been tempted to get Walter a dog, but I can't help but think that he has been abnormally easy to live with for both me and the cats and I should not push my luck. As he's gotten older he seems to want the company of other dogs a bit less, too. And he's got Wednesday who looooves him.

We all know that I don't get cats, they get me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Older dogs seem to start aging rapidly when a puppy is suddenly in their life.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
A woman I met in the park, once said of Bartleby (the Dalmatian/Basset Hound)...in a thick Southern accent, "Ih imagine, there was fernitcha involved."
I love this. I can hear the woman's voice.

Compassionately intolerant
It was pretty darned funny, Zen. The languid, sideways head roll made it even more charming.

The status is NOT quo.
I can't speak to sane numbers of pets since we are clearly crazy with two dogs and four cats. But also at our max and still able to afford and have love and time for all. We don't have kids, though, which is a big part of being able to wrangle our furry family.
Kaylee would have been happy as an only dog, which she was for almost two years, but Newton needs a companion. He is so attached to Kaylee, and the two of them love each other to bits. Our cats all love each other and snuggle...well okay, Mia as our old lady cat does not always approve of the shenanigans of the two-year-old twins, but she and Seamus are best buds.
It works for us.

Ann, that's a ferret.

With six cats, we resemble that remark. But everyone has different limits. And if three is your limit, then better to have three well cared for than four or five less-than-well cared for.
