Snow Day!

Today is a glorious snow day and it's about 9 degrees outside. Fantastic. But it actually is fantastic, because my college classes were canceled! This means no driving in yucky weather for 45 miles (one way!), no sitting through yucky British Literature, no taking my yucky grammar test, and no driving back home in yucky weather. Yay! :)

That being said, today is just a majorly lazy day, which I am not opposed to at all. Literally all I've done today is made breakfast (cinnamon toast), got the boyfriend's clothes out of the dryer and ironed a shirt for him, and read through some articles in my email. Very productive.

Well, as it turns out, I have done one more thing: watched my pets go crazy. My cat has decided snow days make her go psycho (yes, more than she already is). It's not enough to just enter a room in a normal cat manner. Now we have to run down the hallway as fast as we can, hit the door coming in the room, get scared of the sound the door makes, and crouch down with wide eyes waiting for something to jump out and make us run off all crazy-like again. (Seriously, she's a mess.) Oh, and she has completely expressed sole rule over my puppy, Snoopie. The poor thing.

Miss Kitty thinks she is queen of this house, and if you disagree, you will feel her wrath. "Oh, Snoopie, you want to enter this room? Well, I declare it MY ROOM now, so if you dare choose to enter, I will attack you." Seriously, she's like an energizer bunny sometimes. She just keeps going and going, very psycho-like. Snoopie followed me into the room. Does Miss Kitty let her? Of course not. There's lots of lunging (on the cat's part) and swift little punches at Snoopie. Although cats don't actually punch. It was more like swats at her. And what does my puppy do when the clawless cat swats at her? COWARDS. She cowards. I mean full out cowarding: tail between the legs, ears down, and those sad puppy eyes looking at me like, "Mom, how could you let her do this to me?" I feel sorry for her, but at the same time, the cat didn't even touch her.

All I wanted was a normal snow day, nice and relaxing. Now that the pets have had their little go around, we're all being lazy and relaxing. But mark my words, the cat will attack again and the puppy will coward again. This is the routine of my day.

I hope you're all having a wonderful snow day as well, minus the psycho pet part! (P.S. I love my pets.) Enjoy your day and bundle up and stay warm! (And avoid clawless psycho cats.)
