Bryann got Snickers for me as a Valentines present in 2009, and she is the most cuddliest ball of fluff that ever existed. I spend a good chunk of my evenings petting her and making up songs to sing to her. She has a lot of nicknames, as any awesome cat should. Snicker Doodle Doo, Kitty Meow, Mrs. Purzalot, and most recently, Meowza Minnelli, just to name a few. Snickers enjoys day naps in the closet, batting pens or pencils around on the floor, cardboard boxes, and sleeping upside down with her paw over her eyes. She also enjoys peeing on towels, and scratching at the carpet.
We got Samson when he was 8-weeks old the summer we moved in together. We've raised him from a puppy and he's essentially our child. I watched a video on the science of dogs, and the relationship between dog and owner is similar to the relationship between mother and baby in that they both stimulate the release of Oxytocin, called the "love" or "bonding" hormone. Samson enjoys playing tug, playing fetch (on land and in the water) and playing "Go find Daddy/Mommy." He also enjoys stealing food off the counter, barking at everything that goes by the house, and eating cat litter.
