20. I have five cats

I have a spray bottle for when they act up. Four get out of dodge if they see me with it. The black and white tuxedo just sits there looking at me almost as if he's saying, "bring it on". You won't win. After a few squirts, I stop. He licks off the water and returns to harassing the orange and white. When I holler 'cut it' he takes off. All five have given me years of love and soften my day. So does vice-chancellor my 65-pound pointer-setter mix. He's a big baby until someone approaches he does not know. He transforms enough to make strangers stop walking up to the door. "Good dog", and he gets his treat after I quiet him down. One thing right in the creation of this little ball of dirt done right...pets for people.
