dependent

had a really horrible day today. great forces were all at work to annoy me, with both people and animals as their pawns. counting only the number of ways in which animals have harrassed me today:

- sherbie, despite having undergone an overnight fast, managed to poop mid-flight during his morning release, when i was already running late for uni.
- could not figure out which keys went to which of osky/mei/peanut's homes. so ended up trying keys in front of both neighbours' houses and managing to look like the neighborhood burglar.
- osky didn't want to eat his dinner. while i was standing there, puzzling over how to solve this issue, he casually walked over and pooped right in front of me.
- mei scratched and hissed kaixing.

okay technically in the last example kx was harassed, not me, but all dog owners find it distressing when their dog is cowering between their knees. particularly when it's in response to a rescued kitten.

having said that, kaixing gazing at me with her squeaky ball between her jaws is priceless. maybe i'm biased, but then maybe dogs really are man's best friend.
