New Year's Resolutions
Personally, I'm not a fan of resolutions. Just beginning the New Year with yet ANOTHER list of things to do or not do seems rather daunting right now.
However.
Coco and Dave made their lists so I thought I would post them here. So, you know, they would feel supported and all. (Lisa? Have Angus & Larry made their lists yet?)
Dave's 2005 Resolutions
1. To get more exercise. Or at least try to move my body from place to place for more than my current 20 minutes a day.
2. To not tease the dog by lying in front of her food dish.
3. To try not to eat the bamboo plant. And then throw it back up on the floor.
4. To not stick my paw in other peoples' coffee. Especially people who are helping to fix the house.
5. To not roll in the sawdust downstairs and then sleep in the laundry basket full of clean clothes.
Coco's 2005 Resolutions
1. To not eat the birdseed out of the storage bin. Especially all 4 lbs of it at once.
2. To not use the kitty litter box as a candy dish.
3. To not spit my medicine out when Jeannie isn't looking.
4. To try to keep the water in the water bowl IN the water bowl. Since the floor isn't finished.
5. To try and keep others' from feeling guilty when they are eating and I am not. Especially folks helping to fix the house.
We'll revisit these from time to time now that they are here. Just to see how they're doing.
p.s. Thanks to Lisa & Chris who provided a cozy place and STRATA which soothed our achey heads left over from New Year's Eve. :)

Our mom Kristen reads your site a lot and was telling us about Dave and Coco and their resolutions, so we decided to make a few of our own. Luckily she left the laptop on while she's at work.
Calvin:
*I will try not to do my yoga stretches using the corner of the dining room table. Even though my claws are nicely trimmed, they still rip the corners of every tablecloth she owns.
*I will stop stealing Mom’s hair doo-dads, elastics, scrunchies and the like. She’s running out of ways to put up all that hair!
*I will do better in covering up deposits in the litterbox instead of just scratching at the dome top and thinking that’s doing the job.
Tobey:
*I will try to cut down on emotional/boredom eating and lose some weight.
*I will play nicer with my brother. I know I’m the dominant one and I can be a bit intimidating sometimes. We will try to be more careful so we don’t knock as many things over and make as much noise in the middle of the night.
*I will stop fishing things out of the bathroom trash to chase around the house. And I will try to stop depositing said things – Q-tips, tissues, etc. – in the water dish where they get soggy and yucky.

oh my god, you've gone and done it. You've not only posted photos of pets but added comments for them.

Do you know what is worse? What we do? We actually TALK FOR OUR PETS when we are bored and want to entertain ourselves.
Bwahh-ha-ha-ha!!! (Rubs hands evilly)
You'd be disgusted, but we laugh and laugh.
