Letting Go of 'Perfect' For a Puppy

I have spent the past three years saying no to my boyfriend, then fiancé and now husband's "Can we please get a dog?" I said it so many times that I just stopped saying it and created a look that communicated the same message. It was not a pleasant look. When I had the energy, I would follow up with "We don't have time for a dog" or "I can't handle any distractions right now" or "Should we really get a dog if we're supposed to be saving for a house?"

Simon The Pit Bull Has Amazing Eyebrows And An Important Message

It isn't unusual for perfect strangers to ask if Simon the pit bull-boxer mix came by his amazing eyebrows by unnatural means.

"During a visit to the vet with him, I was waiting to be brought back to the exam room with him. A lady walked in from outside, looked at him, stopped in her tracks, looked at me, back at him and said, 'Did you put those on him?,'" says Simon's owner, Stephanie Williams. "I felt like saying, 'That's why we're here; they won't come off.'"

Unlike Dogs, Are Not Small Furry Humans And Do Not Like To Be Petted

“Being held or stroked for too long can be very stressful for some cats,” Cats Protection behavior manager Nicky Trevorrow said. "Space and peace is often what they need. They are not small furry humans."

Those results echoed findings published last year by British researchers that found that cats in homes with multiple felines will often arrange their behavior so as to avoid each other.

However, that study also suggested that cats who live in multi-cat homes are probably more tolerant of petting.

Also, if you die alone in your house, your cat might eat you.
