Okay...I can't take it anymore

Husband is on a 10 day business trip, kids are off at college. I am home alone with the pets. AND THEY ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY!

I actually am planning my day around play times for the cat and dog.

Do you think they feel that I am lonely? And that's why they are in my face so much? I have exercised both today and the dog just tried to climb in my lap while I type this...And he's 75 pounds.

And now the red sox are on in 10 minutes and the dog gets really agitated when I start yelling at the TV. So I should watch CSI instead?

1. My dear hatredisnotavalue!

Nah, watch your game!

Give the dog a bone to chew or something and do what you feel like!

You should not have to plan your day around play time for your animals....

:hi:

2. I'm still training my pets to be people-friendly

Piri always was, until she went psycho and I got her Piers.

Since Piri is a she and Piers is a he, and parrotlets tend to let the females be the aggressive defenders, she now sees me as an outsider, despite having her longer. :crazy:

By Friday, Piers will hopefully be tame enough to get to play on the dining room table with Piri.
