Thanks, PK. Very amusing :)
I have a little cartoon on my fridge from Real Life Adventures. Dog is sitting with a distessed look on it's face and cat is sleeping. They each have a balloon over their heads with their thoughts.
The dog is thinking, "They haven't petted me in three minutes. I wonder if they still love me?"
The cat is thinking, "Nobody better come over here and try and pet me. I'm all curled up here."
