Tuesday June 16, 2026 | What do your pets really think about you?
My dog Nicki Rose is a bit unpredictable. When she sees me cry, she just runs the other way. I’m trying to train her as a therapy dog, but I’m not sure she thinks much of me—except when I leave for the store, then she whines. It’s pitiful, but she’s adorable. Happy, my cat, definitely has that typical cat attitude. I tend to pick her up even when she’s not in the mood, but sometimes she’ll want a little cuddle and affection. I’ll pet her and scratch under her chin, which she loves, until she meows to be put down. Then she’s fine for a few days. Overall, Happy is a pretty good cat, and Nicki is a good dog—except for those times she pees on my parents’ bed during thunderstorms or when it’s raining.
