We have a cat, has been like 4 months since we adopted her. Since then she has only commited just one crime, that was chew the internet's optic fiber.

Yesterday, I was playing Dragon Quest using Punes. I started a new log, from level 1 to level 11. If you have played DQ before you now that the only way to advance in that game is grinding. The thing is that I set my PC in other shelf to have more space to be able to add some speakers in the desk, now, our cat is able to get over the PC, this was the case latenight. By accident, she step on in the on/off button, and pum. I lost everything. I was saving my game by going to the king every level I upload, but for some odd reason, Punes save the game into sram once you close the emulator. When I turned on the PC again... I just got the 1000 kitties stare.

Oh the stories I could tell about my childhood dog, Grace. She was the most ungraceful dog to have ever lived.

When she was still fairly young, she got into some pill bottle somehow, ate all the pills, and then went on a drug induced bender where she proceeded to chew through the entire cushion of our couch. The kicker is that there was a phone sitting there and she managed to step on it just right and leave a 20 minute voicemail of her going to town.

We were poor so we kept that couch and just stuffed a blanket in the giant hole she made. It was hilarious at the time, but in retrospect, it was appallingly bad. I don't remember if my parents took her to the vet or anything, but she was fine and grew up just fine otherwise.
