To think I found your site while searching "friends vomit". I fear the end of the world is indeed near! :-) Cheers, I too have a Golden, a smart one too, a retarded Australian Shepard, and a fat black uncoordinated cat.

>From a Cat’s Daily Diary:

Day 483 of my captivity. My captors continue to
taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They
dine lavishly on fresh food while I am forced to eat
dry cereal.

The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of
escape and the mild scolding I get from ruining the
occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat
another houseplant.

Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving
around their feet while they were walking almost
succeeded; must try this at the top of the stairs.

In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile
oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit
on their favorite chair; must try this on their bed.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless
body in an attempt to make them aware of what I am
capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts.
They only cooed and condescended about what a good
little cat I was.
Hmmmm, not working according to plan.

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices.
I was placed in solitary confinement throughout the
event. However, I could hear the noise and smell of food.
More importantly, I overheard that my confinement was
due to my power of “allergies”. I must learn what this is
and how to use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and
maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and
seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a
half-wit.

The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an
informant. He speaks with them regularly, and I
am certain he reports my every move. Due to
his current placement in the metal room, his
safety is assured.
But I can wait; it is only a matter of time

A laugh at myself that is. About a year ago I cleared out the afternoon to fix an elusive mail/webserver bug, which was the real reason that dog and cats could not cross connect their emails. After losing three hours on it, it became a thorn that I could never resolve. Until yesterday that is! As part of our process to overhaul the pet-to-pet connections (or p2p as we call'em) we finally fixed the bug. The new code should be live by next week. You'll probably noticed your pets are markedly more relaxed once it's in place. Laurie, keep up the great work, your diary is fantastic! Jarrett, we understand how it must have been. We really do. Though hamsterster is the easy joke we've got plans to make sure Cutie can be memorialized properly and any new furry family members will get their place in the internet! To all other please note we can no longer award points to hamster puns, but we are still awarding points for uses of rooster and lobster. It’s with a great laugh that I read your original entry Brad.

But seriously, my wife and daughters had to have our beloved hamster (Cutie) put down this summer -- who knew vets would euthanize a rodent?? -- and it was extremely traumatic for all involved. I got called out of a board meeting by a tearful 10-year old when the decision was made and then we, too, cryopreserved our pet (right next to the frozen lasagna) until a proper burial could be arranged in the back yard. My wife, who had previously professed her indifference to Cutie, took it the hardest. Many people prefer their pets (even cats!) to humans, so I like Dogster's prospects and hope you do well in the investment. I assumed that “Hamster” would have to be for people who loved ham…
