Hump Day

Today is . . . Dress Your Pet Day. Yeah, I'm as confused as you are. Well, I won't talk about dressing your pet, because that's just wrong. I will, however, ask some pet questions.

1. How many pets do you have? What species? Ages?
We have two guinea pigs of the short-hair variety, both boys. One is just about two-and-a-half, the other is just under two. They are father and son: Buddy and Cinnamon.

2. Do you know anyone who has a creepy/odd pet, like a spider or a hog?
Nothing that weird, but I do work with someone who owns a chinchilla.

3. What do pets mean to you?
This is a hard question. The best I can come up with is "comfort." The pets I like are the kind that you can hold, pet, and make funny faces at without fear of being snubbed or laughed at. And sometimes they make funny faces back at you....

For the folks without pets . . .

4. Forget dressing your pets, let's talk about dressing yourself! What are your favorite items of clothing in your closet? What do you just HAVE to be wearing when you leave the house?
Jeans and sweatshirts are my favorite clothes. I always have earrings and underwear on before I leave the house (usually I have on outerwear as well!).

5. Think back when you were in high school. Are you proud of the way you dressed, or do you wish you could go back and change it all?
My mother would never let me wear jeans to school. I don't really remember what I wore in high school, but maybe by then the Jeans Ban had been lifted. I was in high school at the end of the 70s/beginning of the 80s, so I don't think "pride" enters into what I was wearing: wide-collar shirts and polyester? Nope. Really, I was just trying to fit in and not be noticed by anyone mean.
