Opening Day

This is a blog about dogs and cats, and maybe some other stuff. Though I have access to veterinary advice, this will not be a veterinary advice blog. It will be more about people who love dogs and cats hanging out and talking about things that are mostly about dogs and cats, but sometimes not. I hope that's clear.

One thing I know about blogs is that virtually no one will read this first post today, or tomorrow, or maybe for a while. I know when I discover blogs, they've already been going for a while, which has a lot to do with me never being asked to be in the group with the cool kids. I always have to mill about on the periphery and wait for one of them to say the name of a great blog a little too loudly, at which point I scribble it on my hand with a pen and run home to check it out. Sometimes I'm so late to the party that the blog has run its course, like FireJoeMorgan.com, which was a great, if a little mean spirited, blog about baseball journalism. I discovered it about a month before they folded up shop. Oh well, there's always the archives.

You will notice that I will make baseball references. I like baseball, and seeing as how spring training has started I've got the fever. But don't worry, this won't be a baseball blog. It will be a blog about pets, mainly dogs and cats, and how we love them and care for them and what kind of trouble they get into when we're not looking. It'll be about what they expect from us and what we expect from them. And it'll be about what it means to be human as our pets would define it. Like, did you ever have your cat stare at you while you tied your shoes? He's thinking, "How can he lick his toes with THOSE things on?"

Anyway, welcome to this tiny corner of the blogosphere.
