I don't think Honey means to do what will irritate me, but that she misses me when I'm not around. The stuff she trys to claim as her own are usually things that I've handled a lot, and smell like me. And she's not too bad with them, if I catch her soon enough. I just wish I could find the knitting. I don't want her eating a ton of cotton yarn, because she'll probably be sicker than the time she ate Dustin's wool hat. And that's just not good for dogs. But, I'm over the anger. How can you stay mad at cute dogs? Lelia: you’re right, of course. I don’t think Honey means to do what will irritate me, but that she misses me when I’m not around.

I can remember my family's German shepherd would lie down on anything we had been working on--hell, even if we were still working on it. She'd just come and plop her overweight ass down on it, like, "Gee, thanks for putting this down for me. I was tired of having to sleep on my expensive dog pillow made specially for dogs with arthritis." As ungrateful as dogs sometimes seemingly are, I don't think they ever mean to be that way. Cats, however...cats do it on purpose. The perils of having a dog, I’m afraid.
