Dogs have owners; cats have staff.
You have that right, I’ve had both in 66 yrs, we are a 2 dog family, the eldest a peekapo is nearly 13, and old age has set in all he wants to do is eat and sleep.
Now the baby is a Morkie, and acts all Yorkie. Libby is just a little over a year. She brings in presents you don’t want. Like half chewed field mice and moles. She can snap a flying bug out of the air if she sees it. Don’t dare drop anything edible, because she is faster than you. She has chewed up several lip balms, ink pens, her rope toys, and her collar, her Home Find (RFID) chip plastic tag, her rabies tag is metal and it to has been chewed on, plus any squeak toy. Only your clothing and shoes seem safe from those little chewing teeth.
