I know you want to.

Our pets have always been full fledged family members. And while they’re not allowed on tables, bureaus or kitchen counters… neither is my husband, so fair is fair.
They can sit or sleep on anything we can, as evidenced by the photos of Lord Dudley Mountcatten I just took this morning.
.
.
.
.
What can I say?
The cat knows how to relax.
.
.
Needless to say, my answer to the question is a resounding yes.
Are your pets equally as comfortable?
.
.
It won’t hurt your brain.
I promise.
.

As much as I enjoy my craft cocktails and beer, if I could only drink one thing it would have to be fresh brewed unsweetened iced tea with a wedge of lemon.
I don’t drink coffee, so tea is my mainstay pick me up. Lower in caffeine and full of healthy antioxidants, I love it and drink it every day regardless of the weather.
How about you?
One beverage, forever.
Go!
.
.
It’s Friday, I think you have to.
.
.
I’ll go first…
The Acrocalypse.
Death Roll.
Rancid Reptiles.
Blink – And You Die.
Swamp Demons.
.
.
Now you.
Name this punk band!
.
.
Because it’s Friday and that’s what we do here.

Unfortunately this is an easy question to answer these days as almost everything is ridiculously overpriced.
I could say owning a home – as real estate prices are astronomical.
I could say eating out – as food prices continue to skyrocket.
I could say a new cell phone – because I just checked the price on the new version of mine and it was $1,399.
But I’m going with watching television.
I’m old y’all… and remember when we only got three channels. Four if you were willing to put tin foil on your rabbit ear antennas and wiggle them into just the right position.
The plethora of choices today is overwhelming, but so is the price. We live in the country where there’s no cable and internet speed is abysmally slow. Our only real choice is satellite and they don’t give that away. Add a few premium channels to the line up and our monthly bill is almost $300.
To. Watch. Television.
Honestly I’d be happy to pull the plug and just stream the few things I watch on my phone, but my husband is old school and could never live without it. He’s a channel surfer from way back.
How about you?
What’s almost too expensive for you to bear these days…
.
.
In a time when our country is becoming more and more divided, let me drive the wedge down a little bit deeper.
.
.
The first pet I remember as a child was Hector.
.
.
He was followed by Herman and Henry.
.
.
And Hiram and Hortense.
.
.
Then Hubert and Horace and Harold…
.
,
As well as Herbert.
My parents had a thing for the letter H, what can I say?
When I married my husband he thought he was a dog person, but it didn’t take him long to switch allegiance to Team Cat.
We had Frank.
.
.
And Mr.White.
.
.
And Huffington.
.
.
Who looked very much like Frank but wasn’t.
There was Duchess and Theodore and Pooter ( don’t ask) .
.
.
And Bubba.
.
.
And Sam and a long list of others we’ve loved and lost, ending with our current ruling monarch…
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten.
While there have been occasional dogs at Casa River, I think it’s safe to say my heart is firmly planted in feline soil.
Where do you stand…
Cat or dog?
.
.
A quick question about quick food.
.
.
I’m not a nugget fan and have never had Shake Shack’s or Burger King’s but of the other four, I’m going to choose Chick-Fil-A.
They seem to be the most chicken like and have the highest probability of containing actual chicken.
I’ve never figured out what McDonalds puts in their tasteless and stale version.
I’m guessing Pterodactyl.
How about you…
If forced to eat a nugget, which one would you choose?
🐓
.
.
You’re here, what else are you going to do?
.
.
Long life.
I’ve lost so many beloved pets over the years I swear my heart will crack in two when I have to say goodbye to another….
So I’d like His Lordship to live twice as long as a normal cat.
.
.
How about you?
What super power would you like your pet to possess.
.
.
Because apparently you have nothing better to do on a Friday.
.
.
I’m 25 for 31.
Though I admit I’ve never even heard of Beartown or Carrie Soto is Back.
How about you?
What’s your number…
.
.
Because playing is more fun than working.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten?
Please.
The Royals do not work.
.
.
They are worshiped and served.
How about your pet?
What’s their human equivalent job….
.
.
All you have to do is choose a number.
.
.
My answers are 2 and 3… and if absolutely necessary, 4.
.
.
What’s your desired shade of bacon?
