UNEXPECTED FRIENDSHIP....

--Over the year's I’ve tried to concentrate most of my attention on my wife and children. When it came to pet's I’ve tried to stay neutral. Everyone had a favorite, and I tried to stay out of the market. Which was hard because we've had quite a few memorable one's.
--Oh there have been a few who have gone out of their way to devote themselves to finding new way's of driving me whack a doodle. But when it came to picking a favorite I always tried to stay out of the arena. For the simple reason when accidents happen somebody has to bury the little darling's. Which is kind of hard to do when your crying your eye's out.
--Over the year's there have been quite a few who have had to be laid to rest. Which was the only other thing I’ve always insisted upon. Be they pets or stray animal hit by a car in front of the house. They've always been buried and a little prayer said. My wife had no problem with pet's, but had a hard time with animal's hit by car's. Especially if it happened in the middle of winter. But she slowly came around and accepted it and learned to humor me.
--Lately on my predawn walk about Hansel has taken to following me around the yard as I sit and watch the sun rise. Most times if I happen to dose of for a minute or two she'll curl up in my lap and watch the sunrise with me.
--Which is kind of strange because we've had a kind of stand offish relationship. The most she's ever gotten out of me was a pat or two on the head.
--But now it seam’s I found a friend wither I want one or not. And to be honest I’ll probably go along with it. I mean the cat dive's out of tree and tries to take down flying birds. I’m really not going to go out of my way to make her mad I have a hard enough time getting around some day’s as it is with having to spend time looking up in the sky to see if Hansel is after me.
--Some how I think god and his weird sense of humor is at play here but like everything else I’m to darn old and tired to keep fighting with him to. If he figure’s I need a whack a doodle friend in the form of a cat who am I to argue...
