Iwona be your dog


We the people, we are animals. But we think we are smarter than other mammals. Which only makes us far more arrogant than any other species. WE think we are smarter, because we don't know everything about anybody else. That's why we got to thinking that we're superior.
I don't know. Show me a human being that can smell as much as dogs do. Or a person who can fly like a bird without adding to high levels of gas emissions into atmosphere. i would love to meet somebody who, just like a bat, flies in total darkness. Has anybody ever seen a homo sapiens that could jump from a building and land on their four feet, like a cat? Or an individual who could find his way back home every time, no matter what the distance is, like pigeons do?
Yes, there's always a gift of speech, and we think that's what differs us from everybody else. But animals talk, too. What's more, humans have no idea what the heck it is that they are saying to each other, so we figure they only use their voices to mate. Or do they? Domesticated pets, like dogs and cats, they understand us - why can't we make out what they are saying then? Smarter my ass.
Sometimes I think animals are far more superior from us. They kill for food only, not because they need to show anybody anything. They don't have ambition, don't manipulate and don't talk bullshit. Their only needs are: food, warmth and procreation. They are simple.
You know how some people say you're either a cat or a dog person? I'm neither and both. But I can see how some people remind me of pets. My mother is a bird (it's all in the nose), my sister - a squirrell (cause she likes to buy things and then burry them so nobody else would find'em) and my Dad - brown bear (although he sleeps most of the seasons, not only winter).

My boyfriend is a cat.
He gets irritated if I pet him when he doesn't feel like it. I on the other hand, I'm definitely domesticated dog.

I look like a cocker-spaniel.
I can smell people from the distance. I know if they are trustworthy or not, but hardly listen to my inner voice, only to find out that my gut was right in the first place.
I would do anything to please the ones I love. I would even bring out their slippers in my teeth if I knew that's what they wanted.
I howl to the moon when my boyfriend is away, don't feel like eating (cause what's the pleasure in it, if he doesn't eat with me) and sleep a lot to make the time pass faster.
I can't go to sleep if he's awake, and I wake up in the middle of the night if he can't sleep either.
I bark at people who are mean to him. I would bite them if i could, and I want to protect him from other bad animals.
I'm in heaven when he throws me a bone, says something nice or appreciates me doing something.
I get depressed when he's depressed.
I'm sad if he wants to go for a walk by himself. And I'm wagging my tail when he comes back.
Sometimes, late at night, I'll wait for him to come back home even though I have to hold my eyelids with match sticks.
I love it when he pets me.
If he wanted to play stick with me, I would bring it back every time.
We get along, even though he's a cat.
And you know how else I know I'm a pet?
I'm definitely not smarter than anybody.
