Weirdest Pet Conversation

I've got to take the kitties in for their vet check ups next month. I hate taking them. Someone will inevitably come up to me and try to stick their fingers in the carrier without asking. Or they will approach me and ask "what do you have in there?" or "why are they going to the vet?" I'm not sure what kind of response they want to hear? Would you ask some stranger why they were going to the doctor? "Oh hey Moofygirl, why are you going to the doctor" Moofygirl: "Oh hey random stranger, I have this itch and uh..."

The weirdest vet/animal conversation I ever had was when I took my beloved Grover to the vet. This was in the early 1990s (He has since passed away) Grover was a little brown ferret. I forget why he was at the vet's. Probably just for his shots. Anyhow, I was about to go back home. Grover was in his carrier. An old man approached me. The conversation went something like this:
Old Man: "Whatcha got in there?"
Me: "A ferret."
Old Man: "What?"
Me: "A ferret."
Old Man: "Is that a kitten?"
Me: "No, a ferret."
Old Man: "A parrot"
Me: "No, a ferret - they are from the otter family."
Old Man: "A carrot?"
Now what I really wanted to say, was, "Yes sir, I occasionally take my favorite vegetables out. In fact, I LOVE taking them to the vet. I wanted to make sure he was growing just right. He is my best friend. I've trained him to lay there and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING at my command. Are you watching? Good. "Carrot, STAY" See. He obeys my every command. He is brilliant and the BEST PET I've ever had! "
Me: (back to reality) "No sir, a ferret. Look." *Moofygirl points to Grover*
Old Man: "Oh."

Did I mention I hate going to the vet?

Valentines Day

Valentines Day Part Deux

1. Got up, brushed my teeth and somehow managed to get Sensodyne Toothpaste in my eye. Needless to say my left eye is bloodshot and sore. (What is it with my weird eye injuries lately...First a crouton, now toothpaste?)

2. This morning I hear banging on my door again. I think, oh no not the creepy window insulator guy. I look through the peephole and see a little old lady outside. I open the door. She has a large bouquet of roses. She asks if I will take them for the next door neighbors since they aren't answering their door. She says it is too hot to leave them in the hallway. I tell her I have to leave shortly, so I don't know when I'll get them to her and I don't have her phone number. She gives them to me anyways. They are too big to fit in my fridge. I put them on the counter. My apartment is just as hot as the hallway. I have to leave. I knock on the neighbor's door. No answer. I figure someone will be home shortly since they do shift work. I leave them in the hallway and pray that no one steals them. They are gone now, so hopefully she picked them up. Someone certainly likes this lady. It was a beautiful bouquet.

3. My Valentines present from Dave was uh...unique. He climbed into bed with me and then stuck his ass in my face. Oh and just so you know. Dave is my cat.

So now I will present you with a cool flash video to summarize my post Valentines Day thoughts ;)
And here are the lyrics! Whoo Hoo!
Enjoy.
