I have a mini-menagerie, all from the pound.
I have two dogs and a cat. This first dog is a 3 year old brindle Boxer/Bulldog mix named Georgia. She's pretty energetic, but is also incredibly sweet and goofy. The other is a 7 year old brown Australian Shepherd mix named Gertie. She's the strangest Australian Shepherd I've ever met since her favorite pastimes involve eating and sleeping. I tried to teach her to fetch, and she just kept looking at me like I was insane.
My kitteh is a 1 1/2 year old male seal point Siamese mix named Schrodinger (who ironically enough loves to commandeer boxes to play in.) He acts just like a dog, and he and Georgia are pretty much in love with each other. They no kidding wrestle. It scared me to death the first time I saw it because I thought they were actually fighting, but I figured out that they were just playing because Georgia can chew up a decent sized filled in bone in a week but Schrodinger has never had so much as single bite mark or missing fur.
“So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?” - Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically rich guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That’s kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It’s not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us.” - Neil deGrasse Tyson
