Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Five on Friday for November 18, 2005
- 1. Are you a cat person or a dog person?
- I'm a dog person. While I enjoy cats, I much prefer the companionship of a dog.
- 2. Do you have any pets in your house?
- I have two cats, Tia and Silly.
- 3. Have you had cats or dogs before? Tell us about them.
- Cats:
- Lady, a mothering seal point
- Lady's son, Bucky, a fuzzy blue point
- Baby, a large orange stripped tabby
- E.T., a 99% black stray kitten who eventually went to live with my Aunt Bev
- Misty, another seal point my sister adopted
- Roadkill, a grey striped tabby (read: monster) we hand-raised after my sister found him in the middle of the road, only a few weeks old.
- Boo Boo, my first dog, an extremely loyal and gentle black Lab and Shepherd mix
- Sunny, a spunky little daschund we had for just a few months
- Chuck, my mom's silly Wire Fox Terrier
- Ginger Bear, my baby and bed mate, a ginger-colored Lab and Springer Spaniel mix
- 4. If you could take your pick of any kind of cat or dog, what breed would you chose?
- If I had to chose another cat I think I would look for something that resembled a Russian Blue. I would consider another Maine Coon if I could find one with a more traditional coat. As for dogs, I would love a St. Bernard, Irish Wolfhound, Great Dane, or English Mastiff. I'm also interested in learning more about Leonbergers, as I've never met one in person but have heard good things about them.
- 5. What is your favorite movie (or TV show) staring a cat or dog?
- Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

I 1. Are you a cat person or a dog person?
I always thought I was a dog person...I mean, they are devoted loving animals that want to please you all the time. Yep. I'm officially a cat person though. They just fit into the my busy work schedule better. Not that I ever want to be a cat vet though. God forbid. They are all EVIL once they are inside the vet clinic.
2. Do you have any pets in your house?
In my EL apartment I have my cat Gemelli, back at mom's house I have Roakie (cat) and my "little sister" Daisy (dog)
3. Have you had cats or dogs before? Tell us about them.
Repeat all of Sarah's and add Daisy: soft-coated wheaten terrier. The sweetest, funniest dogs I have ever met. She's the perfect dumb blond/three year kid mix on the plant :) Just seeing her makes me happy. I also have to add the various Fox terriers we fostered growing up: Millie, Alex, and of course, Nancy.
4. If you could take your pick of any kind of cat or dog, what breed would you chose?
Dog: Portuguese Water Dog...because they the black/white/brown version of Daisy. Cat: I really couldn't imagine anything I'd love more than Gemelli.
5. What is your favorite movie (or TV show) staring a cat or dog? Hahaha. There is no way I could pick only one! I loved all the animal movies we watched as kids. Poor mom...always having to deal with me crying in all of them!
