Repentant lurker. Common bio: Married, offspring, mortgage, dog. Earnest desire to see the Left taken out with the trash. Intensely disliked by my port-listing mother-in-law. Voting for Conservative losers since Nixon. Admit fondness for Oscar Mayer 'Olive Loaf' luncheon meat. Want to leave a better America for my offspring. Will NOT allow the 'village' ANY parental rights or privileges.

Dog died.

Got a cat.

Need to get another dog.

Got a new dog.

Cat's on a defensive game.

Moved.

Now living among corn stalks and coyotes.

New cat showed up in the barn.

Two weeks and a $500.00 vet bill later, we got a second cat.

Dog is throwing in the towel and actually plays with the new cat.

I'm on a defensive game now.

I fear for my sanity; I've begun to like the new cat.
