Pet Lover Goes Insane
February 28th 2010 21:00
How apt is the name of this series of books? Pet Love HERE. That’s exactly how I feel about Butterscotch and Gingersnap. They are my babies and I treasure every minute I spend with them. Just watching their little cat faces makes my heart melt. If only I could feel the same way about (human) babies…Okay, so I do ooh and ahh whenever someone shows me their little one but if you have ever seen the way I gasp in pleasure whenever I see an animal, you would know babies are not quite the thing for me and yes, I have a big case of Pet Love.
“From reading your blog I can tell you are happily insane,” wrote a friend who got in touch with me after he couldn’t access my facebook account. For some reason, instead of emailing me at my home or work email address, he went to my blog and decided to go the Orble Private Message route.
My friend is not alone. I get told all the time that I am different (Brett and Skye), strange (my colleague) and weird (this tends to come from ex-neighbours whom I did not get along with). When I ask these people to explain in detail what is it about me that makes me different/strange/weird they are unable to articulate. So how can you pass judgement on another person when you can’t even explain why? At least my facebook friend says one of the things that sets me apart from other people is the way I write about my four-legged friends. I guess it’s not everyday that you come across someone who refers to their friend’s cat as her husband…
