My mini weiner is a riot. She jumps onto furniture like a cat, sleeps in bed on her back with her head on a pillow (!!!), she'll grunt if you stop petting her, she'll push her dish to wherever you are in the apartment when she runs out of food or water, etc. She is SUCH a character.

No one is funnier than a kitten.

If I had to smell kitty litter and dried up **** on a regular basis, i'd go crazy. Seriously. I love my dog and for the record? She's a pisser A cat in my mind cannot compare with her laying at my feet and snuggling. Plus, poodles don't produce much dander. Cats? Lots. With my allergies, I could never have one. Whoever marries me better love dogs and not cats. End of anti-cat rant.

mmkay. I enjoy how I don't have to walk my cats at least twice a day. I just left them for 5 days, with food, and they were fine. I have a cat who sleeps on a pillow next to my head, and always wants to be on my lap. Plus he fetches and wards off intruders. And eats the bugs that get inside. And actually, my cats usually go to the bathroom outside. Whoever marries me must love dogs and cats.
I see your point, or whatever, though.

I wish I could meet her. My favorite part is sleeping on her back with a pillow... you should post a pic if you get one.

I should find some, I have TONS. She always makes a big impression on company. She gets so excited that she piddles and then gets embarrassed, so she runs and hides for an hour or so. When she goes to the bathroom, she comes back into the apartment and sits in front of the cabinet where I keep her treats, barking until she gets one. I have so many stories about that little runt.

Saffron.

That's a cute name. And I agree with you, very much.

And when the cat is annoyed he just gives me death stares, rather than keeping the entire neighbourhood awake. With that I conclude the little felines the winner. They're so grand, but then I've had a fascination with cats for a long time, including a fantasy where I'm killed by a lion or just any of the big cats.

well, I guess they are definitely the winners then.

The reason I named her that is because after I told my friend Jamie how much I had paid for her, she remarked that the dog was "the saffron of dogs," i.e. outrageously expensive like the spice.

I had gotten numerous dogs from shelters and they all eventually died from being sick and I just couldn't deal with it again, it was too hard. But I am thinking of getting another from a shelter this summer.

If I get another dog this summer, I'll name it Edina.

How horrible I don't know if I'd be able to deal with that at all, though I would like to save a dog from the shelter myself. I hope you get a healthy one this time that will give you lots of joy
