And 'schmoopie' comes close to it, but I'm not sure which side of the line it's on...

The little red and white one. Real name, Merrily. The big B/W galoot is Sparky, aka Tucker.

10. Don't let the look fool you. Schmoopie is a ringtailed bitch.

Actually she's just a little prima donna who hates every other dog she sees (except Tucker). Walking her is like having a little ballerina on a leash who unexpectedly turns into the Tasmanian Devil whenever she spots another dog. And we live in the city!

Ah, but I loves her.

I don't know what I would do if I had to life my life without pets to make me smile.
I rented an apartment in Texas a few years back. I was surprised that almost everything said No Pets. I was glad to see the end of that town.

My son and his girlfriend are looking for a new place and have a dog and three cats, and they're having a devil of a time. Too bad some folks don't take care of their critters and houses so it would be easier.

I wish your son, his girlfriend and their pets a new home soon.

BTW ... I agree with you about people and their critters.

Pets enjoy a clean place to live too.
