Here in the country the domestic feline is our smallest contributor to the dogs' hors d'oeuvres tray. Racoons and opossums, bunnies and deer, skunks and groundhogs, it's abundantly clear that they'll sample anything that stinks. My good old dog Maggie (RIP) retains the family dog stench record having rolled in and sampled rotting whale blubber from a beached blue whale at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. Alas, the whale shit itself was long gone. Stu... she is in that adolescent rebellion period. In January we're going to some beginner obedience training just to get her used to disobeying all the orders. Ah yes, the copraphagic canines.

It does repulse one a great deal to realize that their sweet puppy is drawn to the litter box and those very special cat treats. It's bad enough to know that the same tongue that feels so good on our cheek, hand or foot could have only minutes ago been cleaning up bodily orifices. We placed a child-proof, locking gate in the doorway of the room where the cat's litter box is located so we have eliminated that one source of pollution but there is little we can do about what comes naturally. Somehow we managed to put it out of our thoughts. It was better than foregoing all those very special kisses and licks that seems to possess a magical quality, able to relieve stress, deaden pain or comfort our very souls. Take some friendly advice...get over it. Yes! It does repulse one a great deal to realize that their sweet puppy is drawn to the litter box and those very special cat treats.

This is that so they don't respond when shouted at by the locals. Clever idea, huh. I suspect Molly's problem is hearing but not obeying, she's at that adolescent 'protest' age, correct?
