I wish pets could talk
So they can tell me what is so great about following humans into the bathrooms to watch us go.

2. LOL
I understand that problem. I don't shut the door because I live alone - I OFTEN end up with 3 cats and 2 dogs all up in my grill, leaning against my legs, etc. Cursing out animals is a regular occurrence in my household. :D Only 2 cats now though - the one that always wanted to jump up in my LAP while I was on the pot is sadly, no more. :cry: He was put down 2 weeks ago. I will NOT miss fighting to keep him out of my lap in the bathroom though. ;)

3. ...and when you DO manage to keep the dogs out, they wait at the door for you.
They seem so happy and relieved when you come out. It's like they're genuinely worried for you while you're locked in the little room all by yourself.

Damn, I'm going to miss Othello being in the bathroom. Poor guy - I smoked him out last time I was there. :D

5. I's gots some goofy dawgs - that's fo'sho!
I have pictures somewhere that Jenn took when I went into the bathroom - Bodhi was glued to the door until I came out. She thought it was funny and took pictures to show me. Actually - you may have been here then, come to think of it....

Yeah, the bathroom does seem empty without Othello. That was his Man Cave. :)

I saw a free kitten sign at the PO - the kittens have been raised with and LOVE dogs, so for a moment, I almost seriously considered getting Bodhi his very own kitty. Then I came to my senses. NOW just isn't a good time. :( I think Iago would handle it okay, Neshameh would most assuredly NOT. And I have a brazillion things and expenses going on right now - don't need to add more to my mix.

6. They're funny. It's like the would hang out with me for a minute.
Then they are GLUED to the bathroom door.

Speaking of fo' sho, I saw a car for sale here in my neighborhood that was marked fo' sale. :D

4. There is a Cat Rule
that provides that no human may occupy a bathroom unless at least one cat is present.

9. Maybe then dogs could explain why human crotches are so fascinating to them.

10. My cat Shamu comes in with me and uses the litterbox in the bathroom
while I'm on the toilet. Gives me this happy little "Mom and me, goin' poop together" look.

15. I didn't know that.
I don't have kids, but I babysit a lot, mostly late night when the kids are sleeping.
