: : : : Oh Fluffy dear..."I was wrong to have thought so highly of you". I have 5 cats and 1 very special large, tail-wagging, slobberin, smelly dog. Tolerate the cats...Absolutely Adore my Dog!!! HOW COULD YOU compare a dog to a rat with a fluffy tail. AND Cats...fugedaboutit! Consume, de-consume, consume, de-consume, over, and over, and over (nicest way I could put it). That's all they do! Can a cat turn flips for peppermint sticks, or make you feel safe at night, or look at you like you hung the moon, or miss you more than your own children while you're away? I don't think so. Sorry Fluffy, just couldn't be quiet on this one. Dog-lover 'til the end! Gnome-dogs must be a breed apart, and make no sense, that's all I can figure!
: : : : Big Dog Mom - She Who Must Be Obeyed!!
: : : : Di
: : : Ahhhh, Diana, dearest one. YOu have so MUCH goodness in you and so MUCH to be loved....I will overlook your penchant for the slobbery, witless ones.
: : : I'll bring the difference to a focus you can understand. The "locked out of cabin" fiasco. Now, Diana dearest drove us all over creation aimlessly trying to find a key -it was almost Chaplinesque - much as a dog, excited and lovable - runs in circles, chases its tail, wags its ears at you and SO wants to please. You gotta love the antics and the obvious desire to help in any way. But then we have Eric - catlike he goes right to the problem and runs up a skinny little tree, lithely jumps from tree to deck without missing a step, gracefully goes inside and opens the damn door!!!
: : : I rest my case.
: : : Oh, one addendum. This business of consume, de-consume, consume, de-consume........Dogs have the SAME repetitive process but it cost FAR more in consumables, when they de-consume they do so wherever they stand at the moment unlike cats who KNOW where to go to de-consume and cover the smelly mess, and cats at least consume that which they are SUPPOSED to! Unlike dogs who will consume everything in sight including your slippers, the coffee table, the cat's consumables, even their OWN de-consumed consumables. Yuk. And THEN they want to come over and KISS you and LICK YOUR FACE!!! I dont THINK so!
: : : GnomeDome er, Fluffy Felinus
: :
: : Yeah, but gnomie, didn't you feel lu-u-u-ved while you wuz waitin'? And animal antics aside, Eric and I were just showing you guys good ol' Nawth Cacka-lacky hospitality!
: : So because I know you are havin' DT's without the good Doc around to banter with, and because you're such good egg yourself, and had the excellent taste to MARRY THAT WOMAN, I'll agree to disagree wi' ya! I AM biased too, because I have idiot cats and THE BEST dog in the world (no de-consumption problems here)!
: : It's OK gnomie, just...BREATHE..Doc will be back soon!
: : Di
: Ah Di, I dont think ANYBODY could be around you and not feel warm and loved. And Eric, gosh, he is one sensitive, all around lovely person. He must have some gnome in him. I would not doubt that there had been a gnome in the woodpile long ago!
: Heck, everybody who visits the board and stays are lovable folks....exceptin' for that scurrilous Doc M. Where the heck is SHE hiding these days I wonder. Probably feasting on gnome heart and spreading Red Bonnet Gnome-margarine on her muffins...when she ain't rubbing oil into her Huron stud-muffins that is.

dear Miz Di
Thank you for respecting my luv for dowgs. They are NOT dimwitted, they are excellent protectors, loyal playmates and can be almost as fastidious as I.
Purrrrrr-fectly yours,
