Tell me about your mother....
One of my pet peeves pointed out in a clear and simple way, and in such a tasteful manner as well!
Damn! You just squashed my dreams for my "I heart my kitty" blog.
It was going to be sooooo awesome! It was going to be pink with hearts and little cartoon cats all over the page (not to mention big blinking text). I was going to post pictures of my cat's poo hanging from his ass...right next to the picture of him licking said ass.
I think I'm going to cry.
You know what drives me nuts?!!? And I'm bound to incur some wrath here, cuz it's happened before, but it drives me batty that pet-owners refer to themselves as Mommy or Daddy. Really. I can't stand that! To me it sounds weird and twisted. Since I first made this pronouncement to the world, I've realized it's more common than I like to admit, predominantly in "English" households — it certainly wasn't part of the culture I grew up in, and I've never encountered it (yet) in people of non-English cultures/ethnicities. I know it's just a term of endearment and not indicative of child-substitiion, but still. It drives me up the effing wall!
(This from a person who really truly doesn't like one of her cats.)
Zee, it was our pleasure. Really.
Priss, you are not a well individual. We love you dearly.
Isabella, you hit the nail on the head- referring to oneself as 'mommy' or 'daddy' to a pet anything is insane. Really insane.
Um. . . . I post occasionally about my cat, but it's usually to mock him in some way. Does that count? (I am not his mommy, though. Perish both the thought and the expression. Sheesh. I ain't no damn cat's mommy!)
So I guess my new creation, "Hello From the Hermit Crabs" is a no-go, then, huh?
I don't know. Tommy at Almost Average has posted some great pictures of his cats. I don't think he's actually posted one of his pet rock yet, though he had a great story about it recently.
Aww, but what about my BABY kitty. Are you not going to be his Daddy?
No.
We may however, play Korean restaurant.
I posted photos of my pets on my blog a long time ago...does this count?
Cyndy, you were younger then.
All is forgiven, blog in peace.
What if posted a photo of my dog and her puppies ONCE, by request? Blame it on the voices.
My dogs are one hell of a lot more balanced than the majority of "intelligent" human beings out there. People are dicks. The more people I meet, the more I like my dogs. Last, about that "kid-with-its-head-in-a-toilet-bowl" deal (yes I said "its"), I would have to answer with an unequivocal "YES". Hey, you asked.
You missed a couple of things: first, no one forces anyone else to read my blog. Second, I own the web site.
In other words, if I want to post about my cat I will. What does it say about those who keep revisiting a pet or pet-oriented blog over and over, hoping for non-pet content? Who's more neurotic -- pet owners/lovers or those who keep hoping not to see pets in pet places anymore?
The only ass here is....you!!!!
So what you are saying is my Fluffy tatoo, the picture of Fluffy on my mug
and of course lamenating Fluffies first exterior doodle and proudly diplaying it in the parlour for all to enjoy is not a good thing.
Gee, how insensative the world has become.
Hi, my blog search got yours by mistake, but the info here was
useful, thanks for a good read.

Yes .. you make a good point and I wish it was true, but my tow dogs .. Maxxie & Sophie are constantly waking me up in the middle of the night browsing Flickr and other Doggie sites for pictures of lurid animals in sexy poses .. It's frightening actually.
