I guess I'm a cat person.I can appreciate a big rambunctious dog - especially one that will fetch, and come, and walk on a leash. Lay at my feet. Wag his tail when he sees me. I can even appreciate a small dog that does those things.
I can also appreciate a fuzzy kitten who curls up next to me when I sit at the computer. And comes to sleep with me on the bed. Who doesn't need to be walked on a leash. Who will chase a paper wad for me or bat at a string I dangle. Who climbs up and sits on my shoulder and refuses to get down. But doesn't mind if I have other things to do and have to ignore her for a little bit either.
Cactus (which I heard all 3 kids call her this morning) and Lucky are starting to have a pretty nice relationship. He did carry her across the kitchen by her ear yesterday, but today when he sniffed her she rubbed on him.
AND equally exciting news is that Alan has pooped in the toilet twice now. And it's only cost me $1.25. Last night at bathtime he obviously needed to go - and I told him I'd give him a dollar if he pooped in the pot. And he eventually did. He really wanted the dollar. Today I told him I'd give him the 2 quarters Holly paid me for finding her shoes before school (which by the way were in plain sight on the floor of her closet), if he pooped in the pot today. And he just ran to the bathroom to do his business. I got away with paying him a quarter because of the skid marks in the pants, but he's happy. And I may be onto something. I'll just have to raid his bank for funds - which is only fair since he raided my wallet to fill it up.
