Did you ever wonder
. . .
Did you ever wonder about the unique personality of your dog or cat? Idon’t think there’s any amazing answers here, but I do think it is interesting just how differing the personalities of ourpets can be.Right now in my home, we have two dogs and two cats. And they all couldn’t be more different. First there isMaximus (Max for short), a three year old, 75 pound, Black Lab. Max is the favored child in the family and accordingto my husband he is innocent from any wrong doing ever. Max is my husband’s dog. Granted, Max is typically thebetter behaved of the two dogs. Our second dog is an enormous (90 pounds) 18 month old ½ Black Lab ½ Rottweiler, Maggie. She lives in a con-stant state of trouble, typically involving chewing. Since we’ve had her she has chewed five, count them, five pairs of Birkenstocks, before I becametrained not to leave my beloved sandals around. In addition to the footwear, she’s eaten my eye-glasses, my son’s saxophone music book, myhusband’s check book, and numerous bills and magazines. If you visit my home, all the trash baskets have been relocated to higher altitudes. Weoften tell Maggie that it’s a good thing she is cute. It may surprise you to learn that both dogs did successfully graduate from obedience school.The only real tricks either of them performs is the paw/handshake and pointing your finger at them and saying “bang your dead.” Immediately theydrop to the ground with all four legs in the air. No matter what is messed up when the two dogs are present, Max remains “not guilty.” Six monthsago both dogs escaped from home for nearly 14 hours and traveled over six miles to a privately owned shoe store, where the shop owner called meand let me know they were safe and together. It was Maggie’s idea to run off and take Max with her. Sure.Then there are the two cats. Sophie is a petite short-haired Calico, belonging to my son. I have never seen a more cuddling or loyal feline (I’veowned several cats over the years). Ordinarily, as most cat owners know, cats are not known for their loyalty nor long term cuddling. When youpick up this cat, she nuzzles right into your neck and actively “hugs” you. If you happened to be leaning over to pick up something, she thinks noth-ing of hopping on to your back (claws usually retracted) and then walking up your back as you straighten your posture. At night, my son calls So-phie and she comes running from parts unknown to crawl under the blanket, turn around and slither her head back out, not unlike a human. As faras her eating habits go . . . she takes her paw and slaps out several pieces of dry food on to the floor, plays with it across the kitchen floor and fi-nally dines. She used to push the whole bowl of food on to the floor until we velcroed the bowl to the counter. Sophie is in NO way bothered by ei-ther dog. She’s been around the longest and she rules the house—both dogs have a scratch mark across the nose to prove it. Daphne, ourlong-haired beautiful, Maine Coon cat, despises the dogs—if the dogs disappeared and never returned, she wouldn’t shed a tear of loss. She ap-pears to be about twenty pounds, but the long hair is deceptive. She weighs about eight pounds and thinks she is a dog. As a kitten she would
