I have to make a confession.  I’ve been led astray.  Sheepishly I followed other canines in my neighborhood who are much older than I, and since they are older, I blindly followed them and believed every word they said.  I would try to place blame somewhere else or say something like well, I’m just human, everyone makes mistakes! but I’m not human.  The neighborhood dogs told me that cats are evil.  They told me cats are out to bring us dogs down.  This could not be further from the truth.  Cats are perfectly ok, and we need them.

It turns out that cats are just lovable little fur balls like us dogs.  We have our differences of course: dog is man’s best friend, cats are lazy bags of fur.  But we have a lot in common, like how we both enjoy meat and our mutual love of trees… cats to climb in and us dogs to chew on.

What prompted this big change of heart in me you ask?!  Well, I just read a nice article about a fellow long-haired Dachshund who, being a lovable and adorable creature like myself, has taken it upon her own accord to raise and nurture a poor, defenseless kitty.

This article on Yahoo! was first published in the Victoria, Texas newspaper:  Lillie, a three year old Dachshund, has been nursing Tahoe, the kitten, since Lillie’s owner found Tahoe hiding in… of all places… her Chevy Tahoe.

 I think it’s important to put aside our differences and realize that we’re all in this crazy game of Life together, and we need each other to help survive and prosper.  I’m ready to put aside my differences with the cats and work toward peace and harmony.  We need to team together against the Bob Barkers of the world to increase our quality of life.

 Who’s with me?!  Rub my belly… leave me some comments!
